They are good at quoting problems that confront the world, but they are not good at adopting the best practices happening around the world. In neighbouring C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, when they were confronted with all the challenges, the president saw it necessary to reduce the size of the government, but in our case, the president is rather creating many more portfolios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so if you have an executive that wants to raise every international issue as if it were happening right here but doesn\u2019t want to copy the best practices that are happening around the world, then we, as a responsible opposition, will not just sit idle and allow that to go on. We have to point it out to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament for Buem and former National Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams, has described as saddening how the government is quick to use international challenges as an excuse but is reluctant to adopt international best governance practices.
