@npp fan These NDC people will not learn. This your Akan Akan propaganda led you to the worst electoral disaster in the fourth republic, and you wont stop.
This is blending the old with the new. A good coach includes some old hands to carry along the new ones; you don't start a team with team B players only. Ask Spio.
how is it possible that we have majority of the akans appointed as ministers...you can even count the number of gas and ewes that have been appointed.why won't these ndc ppl say that our party is full of akans.i m akan but it s time this party becomes regionally balanced
you talk of regional balance in terms of appointment.what happens to those from the central region? my big bro!be careful ooooooo
I'm particularly happy about the railway ministry,good work nana let have morden railway system,go on and give us the morden ghana that you promise.God bless Ghana 🇬🇭 .0
THE PUBLIC PURSE AGAINST THE MANIFESTO PLEASE BE GUIDED OOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOO
Consideration should be given to other regions in the country. God help us
MY GUYS ON THE VETTING COMMITTEE PLEASE DONT FORGET TO SCREEN URSULA AND OTIKO VERY WELL THEY HAVE A LOT OF QUESTS TO ANSWER HOPE U'VE NOT FORGOTTEN THEIR NOISE MAKING ON CAMPAIGN THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO CLEAR MAHAMA. I WILL BE SENDING U GUYS SOME QUESTIONS. THEY SHOULD NOT BE MINISTERS IF THEY DONT ANSWER
Communications, not information. Information is headed by Mustafa Hamid. Communications is regarding the Telecom sector, ICT, etc
Apart from Ursula Owusu (communications), I think all these candidates are ok. Ursula's temperament is not good for communications. ''A cool headed person like Nana Akomea'' (referenced) would have been a great choice. I love the ministries of railways and technology...I wish them all well.
