The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, is of the view that the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, saw the efficiency with which he managed the political party as Regional Secretary to choose him for the ministerial position.
He is of the view that the work he put in as Regional Secretary played a keen role in getting the latest appointment.
