Mame Yaa Aboagye, NPP Deputy Communications Director, has jumped to the defence of Mrs. Hawa Koomson.

The Minister-designate for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Hawa Koomson appeared before Appointments Committee to justify her qualification for her role.

Social media was on fire at her performance with many calling on the Appointments Committee not to approve her.

But Mame Yaa says Ghanaians should not mark Hon. Hawa Koomson for her lack of control over the English language but rather focus on her performance.

"We have people who are fluent and have control over the English language, yet cannot perform", the Deputy Communications Director said.

The hardworking Communication Director gave an instance where Hawa Koomson makes a tremendous change in her previous ministry asking "what happened to those who spoke good grammar?”

“I recalled one top economist in the country who signed documents in German without getting to understand them. Hon. Peter Amewu wasn't an energy expert but can we say he failed? Hon. Kwaku Agyemang Manu was also not a health expert  yet he has performed. Hawa Koomson with no knowledge about procurement managed to secure an ambulance for this country. It is very wrong to measure one's intelligence based on the person’s level of someone's foreign language. In view of all this, I believe in the capacity of Hon. Hawa Koomson to deliver because performance is the most important thing in execution of ones offical duty”, she added.
