Even appointing a senior minister is a problem, now the senior minister has his own minister. Never in the history of this world
Folks, we should bear in mind that if a minister is re-assigned to a different position or a different ministry does NOT mean that,that minister is not performing well but maybe that person's skills and experience are needed for specific job/work at strategic position or policy to push the government political agender or policies. So Afeku's situation may not be different...
Ewuradze nyankopon, nana addo will kill Ghanaians, minister of state at the office of the senior minister. Where from this one too. Nana addo is a complete disappointment. The cedi depreciation is emotionally traumatizing business importers, and he is there giving jobs for the boys. From NDC's 85 incompetent ministers, the man who tauted competence has now increased it to 123? Which wise person president does this.
As an intellectual, i strongly believe Mr president is taking our love for him for granted. Last year he created a ministry for the vice president and this year he has created another for the senior minister. If i may ask, what productivity will these two ministers of state bring that the 998 presidential staffers cannot. I remember vividly his promise to protect the public purse, and also how he made some of us believed that he has the men, but to keep increasing ministers makes me doubt whether he has the men. To best of my knowledge, competence is shown when small numbers are used to achieve high productivity but it seems like the opposite is the case with Mr president. The numbers are way too much, please.
Oh No !!! Mr President, Catherine Afoku was doing very well in her position why change her? Is it back biting?
What office is the Minister of State at the Office of the President and the Senior Minister?
I was initially iffy about Mrs. Afeku but in recent times she seems to have given our tourism sector a big boost. I honestly feel bad for her she as she brought a lot of attention to the tourism industry. I think Akuffo Addo should have allowed her to stay on as minister. I hope her removal is not due to the agitations of these jobless movie actors and actresses who think government should be sponsoring their private business or giving them free money. Genevieve Nnaji is on Netflix through her own efforts and if our actresses will not focus on their business but rather chase men around and go on exotic holidays, I don't understand why a minister should suffer for that. Sorry Mrs. Afeku and thanks for everything you did for Ghana.
Catherine Afeku is doing very well, unless someone can tell me something that Idon't know, she been transferred to the office of the Snr Minister, to do what? A cabinet minister,now at the office of a Snr Minister. Is it that she has made her Ministry so attractive that someone should take the credit? I can't think far.
