Member of Parliament for Manhyia North, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has added his voice to the numerous people criticizing President Mahama for making last minute political appointments. “I am disappointed in President Mahama, you are going out of power why all these appointments and contracts? What is the president’s motivation behind all that?
The NDC is getting notoriety in last minute actions and it is very disappointing,” Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO told Bright Kwesi Asempa on Onua Fm morning show Yen Sem Pa. The head of president-elect Nana Akufo-Addo’s transition team, Yaw Osafo Marfo, has raised concerns over fresh recruitments into the public sector, and the awarding of fresh contracts, after the National Democratic Congress government lost the elections. He warned that such last minute deals could have far-reaching consequences for the incoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the President acting on the advice of the Council of State appointed Joseph Whittal as Commissioner for CHRAJ and Josephine Nkrumah as the Director for NCCE. But Manhyia North Member of Parliament Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh served notice that the incoming Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo and the NPP administration reserves the right to reverse any appointment made by President Mahama “if the incoming administration has any reservations on those appointments”. “We will reverse those appointments if we find it fit and those affected can go to court if they so wish because the president cannot go round appointing people to position when he is on his way out.”
He also noted, “We have to let Ghanaians know that the president is putting stumbling blocks on the incoming government, and he must be told” “Was it not agreed on by both sides of the transition teams, that any further appointment will be done in consultation, then why is President Mahama doing this to Ghana, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh queried. “If the president thinks he has the power to appoint, we also have power to reverse those appointments, I am disappointment in the President”.

a failure cannot appoint for his successor am happy to hear that the successor also has power to to remove them. thumps up Honourable
I feel very sad when people who claim to be enlightened sit on this platform and say Kuffour did the same thing. For how long are we going to stop the game of equalization and move forward as a nation? For all you know it's the children of such people who may suffer the most of NDC's wicked actions in the years to come. Have they forgotten that when the former President Kuffour signed the single spine the late President Mills suspended it and it took almost two years before it was implemented? Why did the NDC complain but today they are doing the worse. I would have wished that President Mahama and his NDC leave the scene on a clean sheet but what they are doing is a form of hatred that they are creating for themselves. Ghanaians are very discerning and they will never forgive the NDC for such nation wrecking actions. They can mark it on wall.
Opoku Prempeh, i would be surprised if you said something different from "being disappointed in Mahama"....... You and the whole NPP in its entirety will forever be disappointed in Mahama......he'll never please you in any way... So this is no news.....just go and perform and fulfill all the promises you were making with the hope that you'll win the elections. Please go and start planning how you will hit the ground running and get things done within 4 years... Mr. Competent and his team!!!
This show how ex-president mahama's level of incompetent is. # still the battle is the Lord's
when Kuffour did it there was nothing wrong. You are now enlightened. First you were not. Shame on to you. God have mercy

We expect you and the NPP to be disappointed in everything President John Mahama does because you people have a very, very long way to beat his records. Could you kindly KEEP quiet a work hard to deliver all your your promisses because we ghanaians can not wait for more than 24 months with lies and excuses from Nana Addo and the NPP. WORK AND ***barred word*** PLEASE.
