Agriculture Minister Eric Opoku has spoken out against the controversial practice of appointing new personnel following an election defeat, a move that has sparked debate in political circles.
Speaking during an interview on Asempa FM monitored by MyNewsGh, Hon.
Opoku shared his views on the matter, pointing to the financial strain and ethical questions surrounding such appointments. "After an election loss, the last thing a government should be doing is appointing new individuals to positions that were never planned for," Opoku remarked. "The outgoing administration had already made adjustments to its budget for the year, so where exactly would the funds come from to pay for these appointments?
It's a practice that simply doesn't make sense." The issue has become a hot topic, especially with the recent actions of the Nana Akufo-Addo administration, who made several last-minute appointments as their time in office came to a close.
