Speaking on JoyNews’ Upfront on Thursday, January 9, he commended the President for prioritising merit in his appointments, noting that this approach is what is expected of every leader.

His remarks follow President Mahama’s nomination of Dr Cassiel Ato Forson as Finance Minister-designate, John Abdulai Jinapor as Energy Minister-designate, and Dominic Akuritinga Ayine as Attorney General and Minister of Justice-designate.

All the nominees once served as deputies in the same portfolios in the previous NDC administration.
