Eschew of Competence, Could this also be....

....the Health Minister’s Source of Confusion?

Better Ghana Yes is on Course!!! But Hon. Wa West MP Yes have failed!! Hon. Cabinet Ministers, the good people of Ghana salute you all for the wonderful performance.

This brings to the notice of those others who failed in earning a mark in the successes chopped by the NDC.Though nation building does not rest on the shoulders of one, but most Honorable members have proven to leave up to expectations and some proved their eloquence and competence in serving Mother Ghana towards the Better Ghana Agenda Ghanaians have so long been waiting for. This reminds me of teacher in my formal school who was given Integrated Science to teach the very things we students knew as commoners, were the things this certified teacher messed up. Students protested and it came to conclusion that he majored in Chemistry and he believed Chemistry was his field in the Academia. Without hesitation, he was given the nod to take charge and deliver as he stated. Do we have periodic as a topic in Chemistry? When this teacher was confronted with problems in “REDOX” he shivered and fumbled even in the field he claimed competent in at a staff common room for a “Social Studies” teacher to even say “REDOX” is Reduction and Oxidation reaction which our competent teacher tried arguing.

Does competence emanate from Seriousness or there are other externalities hindering it?

The said teacher in his mind’s eye thought no student (small boy) could come up to challenge him in the Academic discourse and take from him his position to deliver to his Colleagues and entire Student fraternity who have long, suffered in the hands of confusion.

I therefor challenge Hon. Joseph, Yeileh Chireh to leave up to the task and help build the BETTER GHANA we have all been dreaming of because the Bells are tolling.

At Local Government Ministry, one could say it was not his fault as my formal teacher did but potency of a leader does not lie on your ability to smile when you have messed up but one’s ability to take initiative and drive, risk taking ability with persistence in striving for growth and excellence in your field of work.

That notwithstanding, the president in his intelligence moved you to a ministry you claimed you could work with competence but what can’t we see; dodging of responsibilities.

Oh probably because you thought you were “born” in parliament Wa West could continue to suffer underdevelopment even now in a BETTER GHANA. Hon., your confusion knew no bounds, WAKE UP! , the wind of change is blowing, Wa West has moved from where you are.
