I missed gov’t appointment under PNDC – David Dontoh

Ghanaian actor and television personality David Ato Dontoh has revealed that he was almost appointed a minister under the era of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC).

“No… I don’t regret it, I have been serving my nation every day.”

He added that he is always ready to serve as a minister for any political party if he is called upon.
