@ Peter
Take your time and read the whole story you will understand it.Do not read with your jaundiced mind.You shd be proud that he's engaging himself whilst in opposition. More often others are idle at home.

Johnny, but who told you that he can not be busy by volunteering to teach at the Medical School in Kumasi or Accra or in any of the Universities in Ghana. The fact is that he is not a faculty at Harvard. Pure and Simple.

Even the traffic light double track free SHS is just a propaganda tool to win votes. There is no food, no textbooks, no reading and learning materials for the students. The students depend on past questions to study and pass the exams. Is this what we call education?

I think you should start from correcting your own errors first. It's difficult to read your response with too many typographical errors.

For him to teach as a faculty he must have attained at least one more advanced degree, above medicine, to qualify; does he have that? Ghanaians need to know giving a lecture doesn’t mean teaching at the university. That was a presentation at a program at the university. You all must stop advising him as if he is on tenure track ar Harvard.

Ghanaweb, you were part of those who published whatever on some Dr. Sansa Daly or so and spoke oh how she had completed not just the course but also her residency etc. Although she got the appointment on the health board with that hype when it came out you guys lied, where is she now with her supposed medical qualifications???
It's only in Ghana that someone who goes on a summer exchange program abroad returns and their resume bloats and embelishes that experience to God's own skies!!! Please stop this irresponsible journalism and research on news worthy issues before going to press. Just a little bit of responsibility, please!!!

Have was merely a presenter during a session at a short Executive Education program targeted at Ministers from Africa who pay stupid money just to show up at Harvard! Nobody is selected to these courses on the basis of academic achievement. If you are in government in Africa and can pay, you get in. It is not a standard Harvard course.

He Napo is NOT faculty at Harvard and doesn't qualify to be faculty of ANY university in America.

Jesus Christ! Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s move to Harvard may seem prestigious at first glance. However, considering his track record in Ghana, it raises serious concerns. During his tenure as Minister of Education, his reforms were often rushed and poorly executed, leaving teachers, students, and parents confused and frustrated. Moreover, ambition seemed to drive his actions more than careful planning, which often resulted in controversy rather than lasting solutions.
In addition, his unguarded comments, particularly the infamous “take your Kwame Nkrumah” remark, revealed a lack of foresight and political sensitivity. Coupled with his failed vice-presidential ambitions, these episodes highlight a pattern of boldness tipping into recklessness. Therefore, while he may appear accomplished on paper, the reality of his political behavior suggests caution is necessary.
Furthermore, Harvard is not immune to the consequences of poor judgment. If he carries the same impulsive approach and careless words onto a global academic stage, it could create yet another controversy. Consequently, Dr. Prempeh should pause and reflect before going. He is not fit for purpose if he repeats the same mistakes that caused problems at home.
