    Don't worry whether Kakudi degree or not he is still our Minister of Health no problems about that. Is your dementia Akyem mafia has any degree before he became a president? No wonder he failed miserably......

    The Minister did the right thing. There's no sense of professionalism from the health official hence the Minister did well to confront him as such.
