EDITORIAL: Minister of What?

THE INSIGHT in an editorial notes that Nana Akomea, Information Minister is increasingly becoming an embarrassment to the Kufuor administration.

His inability to explain government policies effectively makes him too arrogant for the position of Chief Public relations Officer of the administration.

It mentioned among others that everything Nana Akomea has done at the Ministry of Information has turned out to be a big disaster.

His explanation for how arrears of the GETFund came to be accumulated and a total lack of understanding of issues arising out of the National Health Insurance Scheme makes him a major embarrassment to the Kufuor administration and must be shown the exit.

The paper doubt if Nana Akomea is really a Minister for Information.
