Kufuor's anger at Minister

It is now becoming increasingly clear that President John Kufuor's zero tolerance is not only against corruption, says The Dispatch.

It is also against high handedness, official arrogance and disrespect for the rule of law.

It is the President's zero tolerance against these that the Central Regional Minister, Mr Isaac Edumadze a.k.a 'Loose Cannon' has incurred the President's wrath and his job is on the line.

As the minister, also a Member of Parliament, goes round some chiefs to plead for another chance, credible sources have indicated that the President has asked the him to render apologies to the driver and the passengers of the taxi cab that were sent running, after his bodyguard fired warning shots.

The President is also expected to demand a letter from the Minister, "promising to be of good behaviour henceforth".

It will be recalled that early this week, The Ghanaian Chronicle published a story of how the Minister, in a typical road rage and using his bodyguard, allegedly seized a taxi cab that he thought was being driven recklessly at Suhum in the Eastern Region.

The Minister then ordered his driver to drive the taxi cab to Cape Coast where he parked it at the Residency.
