Programme and the findings should be made public to the people of Ghana”, he stated.Meanwhile the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mrs Oboshie Sai-Cofie said the dismissal of Dr. Tuffuor was not influenced by the calls of the CJA.She said efforts had been made by the government to address the problems identified by the pricewaterhousecoopers report.Story by Malik Abass Daabu
