President J A Kufuor's First nominee for the position of Deputy Minister for Local Government and rural Development has for the first time given a public explanation on why she could not take up the position . The decision by Prof Busia (in picture left) who is the daughter of the late Dr K A Busia, seemingly dealt a big blow to the Kufuor administration when she failed to show up to take up the post, especially so when the Kufuor Administration traces its origins from her late father.

In an interview with JOY-FM, Prof Busia indicated that although she felt privileged and honoured to have been nominated , she could not immediately make herself available because of the short notice within which she had to decide.

She emphasized that her decision was not a reluctance to serve her Country.
