And so What dishonest old man? Why does one employ the service of advisors that he or she pays huge sums of money? To advice him or her in the field that he or she is handicapped and inept right? So if the person fails woefully in that field, the one to be held liable is the advisor who is an expert or has the the expertise,Old man,there is nothing you can say under the sun that will extricate Bawumia from blame for the disastrous economy today, He being the head of the economy advisory team, was incompetent and couldn't give good advice, Akufo Addo didn't pick him to sideline him and run his own economy, go and tell these fables and fairy tales to the ducks.

Thanks a lot your excellency. With the greatest of respect that being the case, advisor. why was Dr. Bawumia posing questions on the economy to Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur ? Did he know or did he not know or it was just to win political power? How can Dr. Bawumia boast of arresting the Dollar & putting the same in prison & today you claim he is just an advisor? Does your advice of looking at one's life circumstances to make a choice in 2000 not still hold today? This government has made the nation bankrupt with devastating consequences for many. Please what do you advise?

Then all advisers of John Jerry Rawlings should have been left out, not excluding Tsatsu Tsikata for caring the president President Rawlings orders.
What John Kufuor is saying is about a company law and not a government law.
When a minister of vice president in a government infringe on the law, he or she is held responsible.
However when it a company and another legal person, being a person or a company, its the head, I mean the chief executive that answers for the infringement, otherwise it has been established that the individual or employee went against company rules.
