We took things for granted - Obed Asamoah

The former Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Dr Obed Asamoah, has admitted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) took things for granted during the run-up to the December 2000 elections, The Crusading Guide reports.
Dr Asamoah, speaking on Joy FM's program, "The Super Morning Show", said the NDC has had series of meetings to devise strategies for rebuilding the party and win back power in the next elections.
Commenting on why the two positions of Minister of Justice and Attorney General are fused together, Dr Asamoah submitted that the two positions are enshrined in the constitution, which states that, "the Attorney General shall also be the Minister of Justice".
He affirmed the nomination of Nana Akuffo Addo for the post saying, "he is well versed in the law".
He also doffed his hat for the creation of Women's Ministry with cabinet ranking, noting that "it is a good thing."
