Also responsible for all the rampant try and errors in public policy.
The Department of Labor is still in a state of quandary regarding employment numbers,after so many years of existence.
Investment information at the websites of our High Commissions and Embassies are as archaic as Methuselah.A sad commentary.How do you survive in a very competitive world with Queen Yaa Asantewah era information?

It's a pity if it comes from govt we hail it as true; when it comes from opposition members it's a taboo.
