Diaspora at the recent Diaspora Summit.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/ahomkah.jpg.pagespeed.ce.LB7Dn0aLNt.jpg\" alt=\"\"

repeat it to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then said if things were not working how come the Diasporans were in Ghana to find opportunity, adding that they did not have to always demand to meet with ministers of state because the ministers were busy.<\/p>\n<p>Another example was the Tourism Minister Catherine Afeku, who was heard speaking with Joy News\u2019 Jospeh Opoku Gakpo in a way people have

suffer the consequence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Communication Expert, Dr. Etsey Sikanku said some of the current Ministers are treading on the path of their predecessors who were accused of speaking arrogantly, which led to their defeat in 2016 elections. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been established that Ghanaians were unhappy about the way officials in the previous administration carried themselves and spoke in public so this administration must take steps to avoid the same pitfalls. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far Ghanaians have had cause to complain about the communication of some officials from this administration and whether it is justifiable or not it is rather generating a discourse that is not helping policy making or development,\u201d FF Anto lamented.<\/p>\n<p>He added that public officials must be patient and cultivate a big heart to stomach some of the provocations that may come with their positions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a
