GHOSTS of AYAWASO WEST WUOGON and DRILL SHIP Pop up: At Vetting to haunt Bryan Acheampong and KT Hammond.

Adverse findings against two Ministerial nominees of Akufo-Addo to block their approval by the Appointments Committee of Parliament…

It was a case of Reports of Commissions of Enquiry and White Papers indicting or whitewashing the nominees…

The Sole Commissioner, Justice Appau made adverse findings on the sale of Ghana’s DrillShip D511 owned by GNPC by KT Hammond to a company he is connected to.

Angry KT Hammond went on and on about the DrillShip Scandal but conveniently claimed he could not remember the name of the company he sold the DrillShip to, because that is why he was indicted…

The Ayawaso West Wuogon Violence Commission indicted then National Security Minister at the office of the President, Bryan Acheampong who took responsibility for the rogue SWAT Team that went on a shooting spree during a by-election maiming several persons…

Bryan Acheampong refused to disclose his rank in the US Army claiming it was a classified Security Secret but willing to provide documents to prove honourable discharge.

KT Hammond and Bryan Acheampong have to go to court to set aside the adverse findings against them before they can be approved to take up the position of a Minister in the government of Ghana.

It is unclear if the indictment bars them from only being Ministers or also bars them from being members of Parliament.

Stephen Asamoah Boateng but for skeletons in his SIGA closset had a much shorter less tense vetting.

The Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister designate promised to work closely with the Local Government Ministry to ensure smooth administration of Traditional Councils in Ghana through the Registrars appointed by government to administer the Traditional Councils and interface the Chieftaincy institution with central government.

The Vetting of Stephen Amoah promises to be exciting as he finally laces his boots to become a Minister in the Akufo-Addo government after waiting six long years…

Many are wondering if it is a blessing to be nominated as Minister or a curse of the ghosts of your past to be publicly exorcised.

STAY TUNED as the NDC continues the grilling in Parliament and calls for President Akufo-Addo to reduce his Ministers and realignment of Ministries to save the public purse the heavy financial burden at a time the government is calling for burden sharing by Ghanaians suffering excruciating economic hardships and debt restructuring resulting default in debt servicing…

… To be Cont’d
