President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo went to the extent of persuading some persons to accept his nomination to serve in his government, a Deputy Chief of Staff has revealed.
Samuel Abu Jinapor said the gesture stems from the president’s passion for seeing Ghana transformed for the better.
He was speaking on TV3 Tuesday, January 24 after President Akufo-Addo announced 10 persons to serve as his regional ministers upon approval by Parliament. Among the persons introduced by the president at the Flagstaff House as his regional ministerial appointees was Dr Archibald Yao Letsa to head the Volta Region.
Dr Letsa is the Chief Executive Officer for AVL Holdings Ghana Limited and a former parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).Mr Jinapor said the likes of Dr Letsa had to be persuaded to join the Akufo-Addo-led government.
“The kind of government the president has put together so far, it’s become pretty obvious that we are seeing a serious government.”The president himself has expressed confidence in his appointees, several times asking Parliament’s Appointments Committee to expedite their vetting.
“I believe that already the Ghanaian people have seen the quality of people I have named,” he said at Tuesday’s unveiling. He said the country is in a critical state but “when our times are tough, the tough gets going”.

if care is not taken, ndc can be in position for more than 100 years. If the ndc with his incompetent mahama believe they did something during their 8 years in power.Then NANA ADDO and his determined team shall turn Ghana into paradise in the coming years.
who who will pay them is not our tax money so we have employed them to come and still our monies ghanaians had madea mistake
SO AKUFO-ADDO IS NOW BEGGING PEOPLE TO WORK WITH HIM? THIS MEANS THAT THEY HAVE NO FAITH IN HIM. BUT DR LETSA HAD BEEN A FAILED 2-TIME NPP PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE IN HO CENTRAL CONSTITUENCY.
Of course he has to persuade and beg them because he his bringing in men of substance not men of straw like we found in NDC
There is no doubt that the appointee designates have the levels of competencies needed. Even the NDCs recognize this.
If you persuade someone it means the person does not want to work with you.
Big mistake please,hope that was not what you said,if not so,release rejoinder.
@Kankam, they are scared not to work with him but to work in government because of the public perception of rot and corruption the previous government exhibited.
u say nana addo has the 'humility' to serve? hahahaa...and he's describing Ghanaians criticizing his appointees as making "noise" ? i guess this a special kind of humility then
the president is the first public servant.He has humility to serve.
