In the midst of Ghana’s economic crisis, Dr. Solomon Fokuo Kwarteng, the business development manager at Kumasi Technical University (KsTU), has urged President Akufo-Addo to fire “plantain-selling Deputy Ministers” and other underperforming officials.
He claims that the government is wasting a ton of money on some deputy ministers who are doing almost nothing to stop the nation’s economic decline.
Using the Food and Agriculture Ministry’s deputy ministers as an illustration, Dr. Fokuo stated he does not understand why President Akufo-Addo would allow them to continue buying and selling plantains like other market women.
The senior lecturer believes non-performance by some appointees and ministers serving under the incumbent administration has rendered them redundant.
Speaking on the Kumasi-based OTEC 102.9 FM’s breakfast show “Nyansapo”, on Wednesday, December 6, 2022, Dr. Forkuo said it was highly unnecessary for the government to keep many ministers, at the time the country is dealing with debt restructuring and haircuts on bonds.
Governance is serious business, therefore, any minister or appointee who fails to focus in their respective fields of endeavor to bring the government’s vision to fruition must be sacked without delay,” he told the host, Captain Koda.
“Many sector ministers and their deputies whose performance in the past year is nothing good to write home about should not be entertained by the President”
