NPP Foot Soldiers Pleads With Prez. To Appoint Col. Damoah As Commissioner General

A group calling itself FOOT soldiers eye has through a petition pleaded with President Nana Addo to appoint Col Kwadwo  Damoah as Commissioner General of GRA.

They noted that We are by this petition humbly requesting you to consider Col Damoah who is a known NPP party member in your government at Commissioner-General.

They further provided in their petition that, “Col. Kwadwo Damoah as the commissioner for customs created two key deputy commissioner portfolios (Petroleum and mining). This has led to increasing in the number of portfolios for customs and more positions to be filled. This has generated lots of excitement in customs. He is a team player and a very good man. He is the only customs commissioner to have toured almost every customs operations area(be it barriers, a checkpoint, a port, or a station) and listened to the concerns of customs officers.”

“Col. Kwadwo Damoah brought peace and assurances to customs after a turbulent start of the year 2017-2019 when officers were interdicted on daily basis. He was able to use his managerial skills to win the heart and support of the officers. Again, his personal relationship with customs earned the party serious support. He works very closely with some of the party faithful in customs. “

Dear Sir

REQUEST TO APPOINT COL KWADWO DAMOAH AS COMMISSIONER GENERAL

I write this petition on behalf of Foot Soldiers Eye.
FootSoldiers EYE is a pressure group politically affiliated to the New Patriotic Party that seeks to encourage informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and exert influence on government and the policy-making process.
We seek to encourage informed and active participation in government works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and to promote accountability at all levels of governance.

We are by this petition humbly requesting you to consider Col Damoah who is a known NPP party member in your government at Commissioner General.

Col. Kwadwo Damoah as the commissioner for customs created two key deputy commissioner portfolios (Petroleum and mining). This has led to increase in the number of portfolios for customs and more positions to be filled. This has generated lots of excitement in customs. He is a team player and a very good man. He is the only customs commissioner to have toured almost every customs operations area(be it barriers, a check point, a port or a station) and listened to the concerns of customs officers.

Col. Kwadwo Damoah brought peace and assurances to customs after a turbulent start of the year 2017-2019 when officers were interdicted on daily basis. He was able to use his managerial skills to win the heart and support of the officers. Again, his personal relationship with customs earned the party serious support. He works very closely with some of the party faithfuls in customs.

FOOTSOLDIERS EYE seeks to express the views of minority groups in the community who might not otherwise receive a hearing.

Footsoldiers Eye wishes to use our expertise to provide the government with important information. This will often be in relation to motoring governmental organisations, agencies and ministries such.

FOOTSOLDIERS EYE seeks to offer an alternative source of advice to the government, separate from that coming from the Public Service.

In conclusion, we are pleading with the President to consider Col Damoah due to his selfless nature and unflinching support for the party.

Yours Faithfully

Benjamin Gyewu Appia
