This nonentity should shut up! What does he know? He is just an upstart political mercenary feeding fat on the alms of state.

If he had supported his surreal claims with just one exemplary instance of what any Deputy Minister had ever achieved any particular time in our history, we might have given him some credit for attempting to lie intelligently.

What exactly do you mean by "those roles are carefully thought through"....these positions are simply jobs for the boys and girls and are a drain on our meagre resources.

I dont want to take sides, NPP or NDC or whatever. As a country, paying for positions that could have been streamlined and made more efficient is better. It saves us MONEY, CUT waste and corruption in an already corrupt COUNTRY/CONTINENT. I think those lecturers are right. Directors of the various ministries are much qualified to run those ministries. They are educated for their roles BS, MS PhDs and relevant work experience. Deputy ministers are appointed with or without the background to actually SERVE the country. It should be something both the incumbent and opposition can work on together if the PRIORITY of government is efficiency and service to the PEOPLE. God Bless Ghana!

He didn't exactly say what important functions the deputy ministers perform because he wants to save his job. Tell us what deputy ministers do that any "joe blow" cannot do.

Watch your vocabulary - I think you meant Useless and not the contrary (Useful).

Every one knows how useless they are. They steal from the government and hide monies in their shady bank accounts abroad. None of these ministers has a vision for the future of Ghana - they only think about themselves and their immediate families, Ghana is not even in the picture.

Democracy is what is causing all this nonsense. They steal all the time, knowing for a fact that they will never be prosecuted or face firing squad under democratic governance. Real revolutionary change is not far away, sit up and realize what is yet to come.

Wonders shall never end! A goat has turned into man at Gomoa Dominase near Winneba in the Central Region of Ghana.

Narrating the story to The Independent, Madam Diana Attah, the witness, explained that she had been going through financial crisis for some time and sought to find solution to her problems.

Diana Attah, who is a member of The Church of Pentecost, said she prayed to God about her financial predicaments and asked God for a revelation during an all-night service at the Church premises.

“After the all-night, I went home and slept, and then I had a dream that a goat in my house I have been rearing for the past three years is the cause of my predicaments,” she said.

In the dream, the goat turned into an old man and told her that he was the cause of her predicaments and the retrogressing of the church, she recounted to The Independent.

The old man-goat had beads on his waist, according to her.

“So I questioned the old man of the reason for the beads and he told me the beads on his waist contain the destiny of other people in the village.”

Sensing danger, Diana started praying to God for intervention and suddenly woke up from sleep.

After waking up, she saw the goat in her room physically. It attempted to retaliate for the loss of the battle in the dream.

“The goat head-butted me twice and on the third time I called for re-enforcement, then some of the people in my house came to my rescue,” she told this paper.

Madam Diana Attah said the fervent prayers calmed the animal down. Eye witnesses grabbed and killed it.

“After killing it, we found in its stomach, the beads that appeared in the dream which contained the destiny of me and the other people in the village,” Diana said in wonder.

She added that the church prayed over the beads which allegedly contained the destiny of the people in the village for change.

She said that now that they have killed the animal, they are hoping to see changes in their predicaments, adding that, she would not stop praying until something happened.

If there are no deputy ministers, the duty of raining insults on Ghanaians may be too much for the minister alone. The directors will not help with that because they are real humans with good training.

The duties of a Deputy Minister can effectively be handled by someone with a training in ICT and has good communication skill.
Besides, the nation will save lots of money by abolishing the positions.

Prez. Mahama should rid his cabinet of this man if he REALLY wants to be taken seriously.

This feckless deputy minister has been begging to be replaced if not totally scraped as a role.

Strictly speaking, Deputy Ministers are not needed in any way. They do practically nothing to merit the pay we give them.
