A member of the opposition National Democratic Congress legal team, Abraham Amaliba has questioned the competence of the individuals nominated to serve as ministers by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
According to Mr Amaliba, the President seems to be appointing individuals who failed as ministers in their various ministries under former President John Kufuor.
Speaking on Starr FM, Amaliba said the appointments made so far do not depict the NPP’s mantra of “we have the men to governâ€.
“Their mantra was that they have the men to rule and they made it look like the NDC didn’t have competent people to govern the country, but look at the appointment so far; they are not that impressive.
“Who can say for instance that Mathew Opoku Prempeh will be better for Education than Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, and even in Defence; will anyone say Nitiwul is better than Dr. Kumbour?â€
President Akufo Addo at the end of Thursday January 12 2017 named 36 individuals to serve as ministers in his government to help govern Ghana. The 36 appointees would be approved or rejected by an Appointment Committee in Parliament.
However, he is of the view that “clearly, you could tell that Nana Addo has just recycled, failed Ministers who worked with Kufuor and nominated them once again. The NPP said they have the men, I am surprised at the kind of men they are giving usâ€.
