President Nana Addo should not forget Kweme Sefa kai, he has played a major role in npp victory...
IN YEARS PAST, WE'VE SEEN THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT SECTORS GIVEN TO ON MINISTER TO MANAGE AND VERY LITTLE OR NOTHING GETS DONE. THESE MINISTRIES ARE WHAT I CALL SPECIALIZATION. IF AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY CAN PERFORM VERY WELL TO MAKE THE ECONOMY MOVE FORWARD, WHY NOT? OF COURSE, IT WILL BE A WASTE IF THEY FAIL.
1. Ministry of One District, One Factory. 2. Ministry of One Village, One Dam 3. Ministry of One Constituency, 1 million dollar Watch out for the Forth Bactch
AM AGAINST THE NEW MINISTRIES OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION AND REGIONAL RE-ORGANIZATION MINISTRY. ALL THESE ARE NEEDLESS MR. PRESIDENT. U PROMISED TO CUT DOWN COST AND PROTECT PUBLIC PURSE. REMEMBER AND DO AS U SAID.
Three days in and nana has already started to disappoint.What happened to lean govt and protecting the public purse?What the h.e.ck is senior minister?Evaluation paa?Regional reorganization?woow. Transportation alone has three different ministries:railway,roads n highway,transport.Important they maybe;does the country need these at this point?or its the usual job for the boys:same reason mahama was rejected by Ghanaians?We voted for you to move Ghana in the right direction and not to create jobs for your cronies.This is nothing but a drain on the public purse which Ghana cannot afford.I pray that we are not entering into create, lo.o.t and share part 2.Pls reverse course before we lose confidence in you and the npp.
NDC at it again! There is a road just opposite Palace Mall(Spintex) to Regimanuel Estate. An NDC man, with the speed of light, is stealing a quarter of that road by erecting a wall in the road from Palace Mall to Regimanuel estate. Unbelievable. Can somebody stop this man???
HMMMM. 1. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT 2. MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS 3. MINISTRY OF ROAD AND HIGH WAYS. WHATS THE DIFF....
Out of 25 appointees no Fante man???. The Asiama guy from central is actually not from central region. He only lives in central region. Nana we voted for u ooooooo. Why so many eastern people. Most of them from Akyem area? Fantastic swing oooo. We will advise ourselves next time. There is no Fante in the front line of appointment.
