@ Why. Nons3ns3. Who do you want the posts to go to? These tribalism must stop. Why don't people complain when Northerners and the others are appointed.
BA, WESTERN, CENTRAL AND ASHANTI ARE WATCHING KEENLY WITH AMUSEMENT THE NUMBER OF APPOINTMENTS GOING TO THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN REGION.
Congrats my Koftown brother, you deserve it. Kindly serve your country with all humility just as you were brought up. God bless you
Why? are Akans not Ghanaians?who are the majority in Ghana? We gave you the chance and all you could do was to create,lo*t and share. We are not looking at tribes but competent Ghanaians to move our nation forward. Do you know how many tribes we have in the 3 northern regions if we are to go by tribes? Take note: Akans command 5 regions plus the northern part of the Volta region so we are huge but still we don't look at it that way we want competent people who can get the work done. We've had mismanagement by some people and we need competent ones to put pieces together to give us all the Ghana we needed.There is nothing like tribe in the constitution but we have region in there so we are building Ghana by regions not tribe. Get a life with your ethnocentric tribal ndc nons*nse.
Congratulations my brother# you deserve it# hardwork yields results. I Say Congrats once more.I'm praying for Dr Asibbey Yeboah to also patner Dr Ken. Ofori Atta at the Finance. We are behind you in prayers and we pray you work with honesty,humility and competence to move our dear nation forward.CONGRATULATIONS
