Akufo-Addo appointing “failed” Kufuor ministers – Amaliba

President Akufo-Addo's nominees are expected to be vetted in two weeks President Akufo-Addo's nominees are expected to be vetted in two weeks

Legal Practitioner Abraham Amaliba has questioned the competence of the individuals being nominated as ministers by President Akufo-Addo.

According to him, the president appears to be selecting individuals who failed as ministers under former President John Kufuor.

Speaking on the Morning Starr Friday, Amaliba who is also a member of the opposition NDC’s legal team, said the appointments made so far do not reflect the NPP’s mantra of “ we have the men to govern”.

“Their mantra was that they have the men to rule and they made it look like the NDC didn’t have competent people to govern the country, but look at the appointment so far; they are not that impressive.

“Who can say for instance that Mathew Opoku Prempeh will be better for Education than Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, and even in Defence; will anyone say Nitiwul is better than Dr. Kumbour?”

He continued: “Clearly, you could tell that Nana Addo has just recycled, failed Ministers who worked with Kufuor and nominated them once again.

The NPP said they have the men, I am surprised at the kind of men they are giving us”.
