Lands and Natural Resources Minister-designate Emmanuel Armah Kofi-Buah has clarified his widely discussed remarks on the tenure of former President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The comments, made shortly after the former President's final State of the Nation Address (SONA) on January 3, have drawn criticism, particularly from the (NPP), which labeled them as harsh and disrespectful.
During his vetting by 's Appointments Committee on Monday, January 27, the Ellembele MP emphasised that his remarks were not intended to attack the former President personally but were instead a reflection of public sentiment regarding the performance of his administration. "I have enormous respect for President Akufo-Addo and any president who occupies the highest office of our land," he stated. "The decisions they face are enormous and grave, and I don't take that lightly.
My comments were directed at his government, reflecting the views of the Ghanaian people who felt they had endured significant hardships," he added.
