So just 110 ministers and NDC guys are screaming like they have been given acid to drink, aaaba allow show boy to do his show wai nana toaso saaa fa bi ka hooo chaw so that NDC's who cant stand will die of heart failure
These appointments made by this Government is an indicative of the fact that the NPP do not have efficient and compitent men. Its job for the boys. If Ex-President Mahama & Kuffour were able to achieve what they did for Ghana with less number of Ministers,then This administration has demonstrated that they are very Lazy and felt so inferior to themselves as Government
But how do you expect the new president to do same things as his predecessors and expect a different results? That is the Black Mentality; full of F00OLISHNESS. Well for your information; in order to get different results you must do things differently. Nana Addo is the president, leave him to do his job and ask for accountability when his time comes. I'm not saying we shouldn't criticise but why this time? It is his strategy and what we seek to find is results. So stop your F00OLISH talks and let the competent man work for the better of Ghana. if you think you know Better go and campaign and become the president. Until then stop behaving like uncivilised individuals even though you are. GET SOME BRAINS
As many as two to three deputy ministers in almost all the ministries, why? TO BE A LEADER, YOU CANNOT SATISFY EVERYONE.
real job for boys, ndc were foooolish not to reward its members who work hard for it to be in power, nana apoint all npp people as ministers is a way to teach ndc lesson
Competence in Ghana now means Quantity.
Its interesting that compared to the immediate past ndc govt appointees people are no more talking about competency of appointees, team B players, square pegs in round holes, small boys etc. All comments likely from ndc fellows are just mere complain about the number of competent ladies and gentlemen being positioned to push the devt of GH. They have been hypnotised by the sheer number of qualified and experienced NPP appointees.
Nana go ahead you can appoint one village one Minister. Its all job creation
What at all is this? 2020 is just around the corner ooo. Kokromoti Power!
I have been saying we have a s..too..p.id mmoatia president. He is a criminal, that short evil dwarf. How much will this cost us. it is not nana addo's money to be dashed out to those who paid for your campaign. The foriegners, especially the chinese whom who contributed to bawumia's lalasula are also coming to kibi for galamsey. kwa..siam.panyin president
