Economic policy analyst Senyo Hosi has come to the defense of the running mate of the (NPP) , popularly known as NAPO, amidst accusations of arrogance.
In a Facebook post on October 21, 2024, Hosi shared his personal experiences working with NAPO, offering a different perspective on the character of the former Energy Minister.
Having served on the Ministerial Advisory Board under NAPO and his three predecessors, he described NAPO as someone who interrogates everything and does not take things at face value. "Many people struggle with the aggressiveness of his opinions and even more the swift and broad scope of knowledge he displays and interrogates. "Some find it intimidating but for me I found it a different approach to etch out positions passionately.
Every time I engaged in a debate with NAPO, it may, for the uninitiated, seem unsettling, but for us, it was a passionate pursuit of an optimal position. "He may aggressively debate and sometimes forget we aren't on the floor of parliament, but he surely revises his positions and opinions when superior knowledge and arguments were advanced.
