Akufo-Addo should learn from Kufuor and make good use of Alan Kyerematen
Broadcast journalist Afia Pokua a.k.a VIM Lady has commented that the refusal of President Akufo-Addo to fully make use of Alan Kyerematen’s expertise as a Trade Minister is a dent on his government.
She claims that the President has refused to recognize the immense knowledge Alan possesses that could help transform this country.
Vim Lady bemoaned on her TV program on UTV that the habit of successive governments in refusing to tap into the expertise of their own people has had a negative impact on the country.’s development.
She opined that Malaysia for instance is raking in millions of revenue from its oil palm.
“Whiles Malaysia is using its land for oil palm and generating $12.4billion, we are destroying ours. The galamsey has even worsened the case. Meanwhile, we could have used the palm plantation as a reclamation exercise. Alan Kyerematen has this blueprint.
“I always say that one of the things he has failed at doing is to use Alan Kyerematen well. Use Alan Kyerematen …. We have the men both home and abroad. I speak to some of them here and we have all these people who are ready to help this country. Had the president used Alan Kyerematen and all these people well, he would have fixed Ghana and gone down in history as one of the best. He would have earned his place in history.”
Afia Pokua has therefore urged President Akufo-Addo to learn from the leadership of former President Kufuor who pulled all the wise people in NPP to achieve all the successes in his government.
“President Kufuor is still revered because of the things he did. People still go to his house to pay homage to him. They applaud him. If President Akufo-Addo does not rebuke those guys who bring side chicks into his plane and not do things in the last three years, not even kids would call on him when he goes into opposition,” she said.
She however appealed to the President that he risks missing out on some respect accorded the office of ‘former president’ if things do not improve in his government.
