A former Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama in the Ashanti Region, Henry Kwabena Kokofu has indicated that he is not disappointed a post he was penciled to be assigned has been given to Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu-Afriyie.
The former lawmaker last month was reportedly appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the Chief Executive of the Forestry Commission only to be swerved on Monday March 13, 2017.
Contrary to the earlier appointment, it was announced that the former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) affectionately called Sir John is now heading to the Forestry Commission as the Chief Executive.
But Henry Kwabena Kokofu on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm said he is not perturbed the job has been taken away from him indicating that appointments to various institutions in the country remain the sole prerogative of the president.
“Sir John is my senior at law and a senior member of the party. I will call him to congratulate him. Appointments are the sole prerogative of the president who knows who is best for which job to help his administration. I am not ready to disclose who said I was going to the Forestry Commission”, he revealed.
He stated that he is not also ready to argue on the matter and asked the host to pull his brakes on the issue insisting that he will still continue to contribute his quota to the development of the party and government.
“I am still a party person. It does not mean that it is only when you are appointed you can help in governance. I am still working behind the scenes to help the party and government “, he added.

HON. KOKOFU, U ARE A GREAT MAN, WHETHER SIR, JOHN OR WHO EVER WE ARE ALL THE SAME PEOPLE BELONG TO THE SAME FAMILY. HON. KOKOFU YOUR TIME WILL SURELY COME. THE BATTLE IS STILL THE LORD'S
I am still surprised a cross section of Ghanaians are still so dumb and thereby allowing nana Addo and his team to make them more fuuuulissssh. If you look at the indecision in his appointment, every smart person would understand that they are in power to find job for the boys. How can you appoint someone for a position and because of hue and cry from supporters take the position and give it to someone else? Can such an indecisive president lead Ghana? Almost three months into his administration he has not redeemed one of his outrageous promises to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians. Electricity bill and rent are still high, but he promised to reduce it. Dumsor is back, and the dollar is sprinting like Usain Bolt, yet instead of solving those problems it's positions that he is sharing to party faithfuls to line their pockets while the rest of the citizenry are committing suicide left right center. God save Ghana. If you think nana Addo can solve your problem for you, then my advice to you is to ignore him and find something better to do with your life probably God will help you out, as for Npp it's all about their family and friends. Asa.
Very impressive talk! Well said! Stay Focus! Your appointment will be greater!

Nana's appointment are purely Kokofu football. Now Kokofu himself has been swerved. What is Sir John going to do in forestry commission? The Apostles of anti-winner takes all politics who were very loud during Mahama regime must not be quiet.
