    Although some have been quick to criticize him for leaning toward those from Northern Ghana, I don’t think that the primary motivation for making those appointments is nepotism. The President must be looking for competence ...

    Gidisu is a tribalist nonperformer. HE IS VERY CORRUPT taking bribes from contractors. I will be surprised if he is engaged by MAHAMA. Akua Dansua is a woman but very limited in styrategic thinking. She is a nobody and I shal ...

    I don't have problems with the former ministers Bokor listed but as you wrote Gidisu is a tribalist and I was happy when I read somebody else is nominated to take over his position.

    President Mahama, well done!With all your appointments, so far, you have tried to look at the 'inside' of the appointees rather than the 'outside'of them.A classical example is the Minister designate for Attorney General and ...

    The teeth of Babies With Sharp Teeth should be removed; they should then be allowed to wean away from breast milk before engaging them with ministerial or deputy-ministerial positions. A case in point is Ablakwa.

  • Dziko Kwame 11 years ago

    Dear Dr Bokor

    Some names as listed by you in the write-up need to be corrected.

    Those "promoted" from Deputy ranking to full "Minister" includes MAHAMA AYARIGA and EMML AMARH KOFI BUAH.

    Secondly, the President's list ...

    Opinions. Thinking aloud and allowed. Observers are worried. Who is Minister of Defence/Home affairs? Who is Minister of Youth and Sports? We need one Mnister appointed from the Diaspora.
