Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku-Mantey has disagreed with critics who suggest that he is the worst Deputy Tourism Minister.
Mark Okraku-Mantey explained that as a Deputy Minister, his constitutional mandate per the 1992 constitution is to provide assistance and advice to his superior, the main Minister.
For this reason, he finds it irrational for persons to describe him as such stating that the only questions to justify his competence is for critics to ask what contributions or development his Ministry has done not the individual (Mark Okraku-Mantey). "I saw Abro's video saying that I am the worst deputy Minister ever in that Ministry.
The roles of the Ministers are all in the 1992 constitution but I see that some people speak with emotions. "The Deputy Minister's role is actually somebody who goes in there to support the main minister…That is why the things I have done and coming to talk about, I can only say that I only influence my boss, I only convince my boss. "Every organizational structure, there's something called chain of command and so this thing about he is the deputy minister, what has he done?
