Did she practice what she learnt In America before coming to Ghana? Maybe she wont allow mahamato chop her thats why she is not a healthminister. Whatever her motivation she is deserves to be a minister.

With all these Credentials John Mahama and NDC did not recognise it but gave an important position like Health Minister to Akandoh whose only experience is being a Dinning Hall Prefect in a village school.

Dummy you think living and working in America like a slave is the end all? You will chop money but your quality of life will be seriously impacted. Getting called at odd times to go attend to some rich fools who don't take care of their health? And all the money you make goes to pay expensive bills you have taken upon yourself as a doctor? At the end of the day you truly feel empty. Ameorcannsoxiety is toxic. The food is toxic, the culture your children are growing up in is also toxic. Once you rub shoulders in school and at work with white folks you start realizing how much of a fraud they are. You don't want your offspring consuming this junk..that's why many educated immigrants who have become successful end up returning to to their home countries..to invest over there. Can you blame her?

Our mind set is warped. We think everyone with impressive qualifications should be a Minister? Then we would have 275 ministers- same mindset and pressure which caused Nana Akuffo Addo to appoint so many. Her qualifications places her operate well as MP and help enact good health related laws and policies. Do you know the qualifications of the others too? We’re too simple minded and power seeking people in this country.
