    There was nothing wrong with the dpty Minister's Answer.

    May be he doesn't need to gather young men and women as part of coding. But hei he is a politician and knew what he was saying..

    A minister is not required to be a technocrat with the skills in their field. He's a manager who will harnes the skills of the technocrats under him to deliver.

    This must change. A minister should have some knowledge about his ministry. If not then he is just a zombie. His staff will be reporting to him things that he is not even aware of . Ghana has qualified people in each field to ...

    The deputy minister designate was right in his answer and it appeared Jerry Ahmed didn't understand even his own question. The deputy minister designate's answer was not different from what the expert gave

    Very silly attempt to ridicule the minister. That mp should just himself the Defence minister knows anything about weapons? This is the level of stupidity in Ghana and it’s very sad

    Those who made these appointments are dummies. How do you appoint someone to head a department or ministry when they have no basic knowledge about what is involved in those areas. How can a medical doctor be appointed a minis ...

    From the definition by Dr Jane Smith , Sakparu was not too far from right. I doubt if Jerry himself knew the answer.
    Sakparu will certainly learn on the job. Hawa koomson aka aqua culture even survive her tenure. All shall ...

    Jerry Ahmed feels he can embarrass colleagues in vetting. Your own is coming soon. It was a useless question. The deputy minister is not an IT man. The next election is coming in your constituency. You will be embarrassed the ...

  • Bfoh 12 months ago

    If he is an IT man, what is he going to do in that position? We need to be serious. Don’t have people with good background in the Ndc? And what’s the use if you win elections and make such appointments where it’s very c ...

    It was a ridiculous question for a leader. How will his knowing what coding is help him work as a Minister?

    Is he expected to be a technician in his position as Deputy Minister? I think we need to get serious.

  • FIRE MAN 12 months ago

    So is the difference between what the deputy minister said and that of the Doctor said? They all mean the same. The only difference is the statement from the Doctor was "chew and pour".

    The deputy was also right with his explanation. Coding is very wide and cannot simply be defined in simple terms.
