Campaign Coordinator of the Nana Konadu for 2012 Campaign Team, Michael Teye Nyaunu, has scoffed at the Daily Dispatch�s list of possible government appointees to be named by former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings should she become president.
Ben Ephson�s Daily Dispatch published in Wednesday, June 8, 2011 edition a list of close associates of the Rawlingses and their political appointments. The list, according to the paper was left unattended to at a meeting by a leading member of the Mrs Rawlings� team.
It included Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Alban Bagbin for running mate, close associate, Herbert Mensah for Chief of Staff, Former President Rawlings for Head of Security, Kwamena Ahwoi for Presidential Advisor, and Dr Ekwow Spio Garbrah for Foreign Affairs, among others.
But Hon Teye Nyaunu has discounted the supposed list, saying the thought of who becomes what in Mrs Rawlings� government has not even been discussed by members of the team, given the number of years to the elections, stressing �some may even die� before the elections.
According to Mr Teye Nyaunu, Mrs Rawlings priority is how to battle the flagbearership race, adding that �we do not have any space and time to talk about appointees. When we cross that bridge; the next one is to talk about campaign. It is during this period that you can think about people to fit into positions. You do not think about people to put in positions when you are far away from the battle itself�.
�How could somebody in his right senses endeavor to pen down people who will be working in offices in one and half years� time? That will be too naive and immature�.
