Seasoned Journalist Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has hinted the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will soon lay off several Presidential appointees.
Kweku Baako made this shocking revelation on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Wednesday.
According to him, some of the Presidential appointees lacked discretion and would have their issues dissected in the media when there are proper avenues for their cases to be heard without any interference by the media.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi, the seasoned journalist cautioned the appointees to zip their mouths and wisely refer their issues to the appropriate State authorities.
“Those Presidential appointees who, when they have problems, they rush to the media and put their case forward . . . They’re not helping the government and for that matter the President. If there are problems between people who are in government manning different institutions of State and you have difficulties, but cannot refer your case to the appointing authorities or (lieutenants) the appropriate agencies . . . is not to the credit of the system. I wouldn’t say people should be silent. Silence is not always golden but they have to be careful," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi.
In view of the indiscretion on the part of those appointees who Kweku Baako strongly declined to reveal their identities, he however volunteered information that "several people will very soon go home to think about themselves. It is bound to happen”.
However, he alluded to a comment made by host of the show, Kwami Sefa Kayi that heads of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) and Energy Ministry's recent encounter as well as the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company issue were examples of what was happening.
The Board Chairman of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Tongraan Kugbilsong Nanlebegtang, announced recently that the TOR Board of Directors has no plans of converting the refinery into a tank farm contrary to assertions made by the Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko in the United States of America.
During a meeting at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) held in Houston, Texas, Mr Agyarko announced that plans were underway to convert the distressed Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) into a tank farm.
Also at the beginning of this month, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company Limited (GCMCL) Frances Essiam denied claims of awarding several contracts worth millions of Ghana cedis without recourse to the company’s board.
Her denial comes in the wake of a letter from the company’s board warning her to stay off the disbursement of a GH¢5million stimulus package sought by the government for the company.

Uncle you are right. In the first place why 110 ministers. for what. Now all our taxes is being spent on them for no reason. Roads are not being fixed,NHIS in suffering etc but people are chopping money for no work done. The early the sack them the better for the government. I do not want NPP to lose 2020
the presidential spokesperson on all matters have spoken. let's wait and see. competence at its peak
Ah, if this is true, then the NPP will have no government appointees left ooo!! The bulk of them are SUPER INCOMPETENT!
So what is the difference between you and those people? Have you been authorized to speak on this matter? I can't recall you being a member of the communication team at the presidency
WE HAVE THE MEN
Kweku Baako can't have it both ways because you either ***barred word*** to safe your job when evil or wrong is being pertuated by politicians or be prepared to STAND up and express your opinion and pay the price ; is this a warning from Kweku Baako from Nana Addo to silence appointees not to wash their dirty linen in public ; this is a democracy not North Korea.
