Their output has been considerable, and that is what I look at,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But Amoako Baah advanced a contrary view to that of the president, &#8220;talk to Parliamentarians, they will tell you Common Fund never goes there. How are they going to be assessed? You were never given the money you needed to work so based on what are you going to decide competence to ensure that you fire them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it is a political party that brought him to power [it] doesn\u2019t mean that when you win, you will do whatever that you want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to say&#8230;I don\u2019t want a position with him, it is already gone, so please what I am saying has nothing to do with myself. I don\u2019t need a job with the President but if he calls me that he needs help and he thinks that I can help, that I will do,\u201d Dr Amoako Baah noted.<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: Ghanaweb.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\">Disclaimer<\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of Peacefmonline.com.
