A former Chief Executive of Asante Kotoko and a close friend of the former first family, Mr. Herbert Mensah has rubbished the supposed list of appointments to be made by Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings when she becomes the president of the country.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Abena Asiedua Tenkorang on XFM’s morning show, ‘The Big Bite’ on Wednesday May 8, 2011, Mr. Mensah referred to the publication as \u2018not making practical sense\u2019 because Mrs. Rawlings at this point in time is on a different mission.<\/p>\n
He described the former first lady as very practical, highly intelligent and a very educated person who is trying to explain her agenda of wanting to become a president and putting structures in place to fight at the NDC’s congress in July instead of \u201csitting in an arm chair considering a possible cabinet for her would-be government\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Daily Dispatch on Wednesday June 8, 2011 in a publication sought to state that, it had come across a list left unattended to by a leading member of Mrs. Rawlings\u2019s campaign team which names Herbert Mensah as Chief of Staff, Ex-President Rawlings as Head of Security, Hon. Alban Bagbin as a possible running mate, Ekow Spio Garbrah, Gen. (rtd)Nunoo Mensah, Kwamena Ahwoi among other names for ministerial appointments should Mrs. Rawlings occupy the highest office of the land after the 2012 general polls.<\/p>\n
Herbert Mensah, however, opined that Mrs. Rawlings\u2019 main concern has to do with how to offer a different approach to governance aside what is prevalent, other than getting people into political offices.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I do know is that Mrs. Rawlings is really looking and saying how can we actually be different? How can we in that short space of time that you have as a democratic leader in Ghana bring about that kind of change that the country now sees itself moving in another direction? So she is really interested in how people\u2019s lives can change as opposed to people taking positions for the sake of it\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC, Joseph Yammin and M.P. for Lower Manya Krobo, Hon. Teye Nyaunu who have both been named in the said list in separate interviews have expressed surprised at the list describing it as immature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
