THIS IS A VERY WISE MOVE BY PRESIDENT AKKUFO ADDO. THE NEW APPOINTMENTS WITH THEIR OFFICES AT THE PRESIDENCY WOULD INCUR A VERY LITTLE COST TO THE NATION. AT THE SAME TIME THIS NEW MOVE WOULD PROVIDE THE PRESIDENT MANY ABLE MEN AND WOMEN TO ASSIST IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THE NATION. THIS WILL ENSURE CLOSE MONITORING AND SUPERVISION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THE PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE MANY HANDS AROUND HIM TO WORK WITH THEM AS A TEAM. THIS WILL HELP TO ENSURE A RICH DECISION AND ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVES FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION. THE PEOPLE APPOINTED TO SURROUND THE PRESIDENT ARE ALL ABLE MEN AND WOMEN OF INTEGRITY, SOLID CHARACTER AND VERY EXPERIENCED IN MANY AREAS OF LIFE. THEY WOULD PRACTICALLY UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONS OF ALL THE MINISTRIES AND WOULD OFFER THE PRESIDENT THE NEEDED ADVICE TO EXERT TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE WORKS OF ALL THE MINISTRIES. IT LOOKS LIKE GHANA IS GEARED TOWARD THE BEST GOVERNMENT IT ITS HISTORY.
He sees something that most of us don't see,we trust your judgment Nana..visionary leader onaapo😃
Oh God. what a shameful president. First day was plagiarism from five difference presidents. complete stealing and dishonesty. Second day, npp supporters killing Ghanaians,third, lying on a meeting between nana addo, Asnate Hene and the humble former president and now unintelligent nominating of minister. Is that what we want ? Time will tell.
Nobody is afraid of constructive criticism. NPP, unlike the arrogant NDC surrogates, have the sense to appreciate relevant feedback from the general populace. What we detest is bogus criticism by the NDC propaganda machinery. The ***barred word*** from NDC are still saying the NPP rigged the elections through hacking? Why won't the NDC follow the example of NPP and go to court to seek redress? Isn't of addressing the issues that caused your massive defeat, you NDC goons are still daydreaming. Ghanaians were fed up with inc*ompetent govt of the NDC and voted them out. NPP won not through juju or rigging. SIMPLE!
The man has been president just 4 working days and see what the people are doing. Surprised at you. How many of you in his shoes can do what he intend doing. Keep your mouth shut and watch. After four years if you are not happy vote him out. Period!
Why are you uncomfortable for the critics at this time?. It is the critsism that brought your black and white TV president to power and the same critics to opposition You did the to Atta Mills and so keep quiet ans suffer the heat. Only one minister from Central Region. How many are from Akyems Only? Osafo Marfo is happy becacuse they have the resources
Why are these needless criticisms? The president is doing what he think will help him honour his promises and creat a modern Ghana.Why can't we wait and see what will happen before these noice.Ghanaians are quick to criticize,it's not the best.
