Former Member of Parliament for Buem, Daniel Asiamah, has described the appointment of to lead the Ministry of Education as a perfect fit.

Speaking on Starr FM's Weekly Review segment with Naa Dedei Tettey, the former lawmaker who served with Mr Iddrisu in the House said there appeared to be a consensus within the political space on the appointee's capacity to deliver in the crucial ministry. "I've listened to people of all shades of the political arena and none of them is saying that this person is bad.

Haruna is the type of person that I see personally to fit that particular position very well," he said.

Mr Asiamah said the education sector had been crippled with several challenges, including arrears to public schools, which required an individual as level-headed as Mr Iddrisu who can sit with stakeholders and reach amicable solutions with them. "We need somebody who can sit at the table with teacher unions, with academia, to find ways to solve the national problem," he said during the discussion.
