Many scored high marks to the vetted appointees for what they termed “their master class performance”.

A teacher, Emmanuela Afia Owusu, said she had been left in no doubt that the “President has a good team” and that there was every indication that the government would live up to expectation.

She said what was important was for all to stand behind the government and allow it space to implement its development vision for the nation. Ms. Fatima Aisha, an accountant, shared the sentiments and applauded the decision to establish a Ministry for Zongo and Inner City Development, describing that as brilliant.

She said it was not in dispute that the Zongo communities faced peculiar challenges and therefore any bold attempt to tackle these must be supported by everybody. Mr. Oscar Kyei, a National Service Personnel, said the depth of knowledge put on display, expertise and experience of the appointees was admirable.

 He added that, he was optimistic about the future – things could only getter better.

 Mr. Akwasi Asante, a trader, welcomed the setting up of the Ministry of Business Development, which he noted was a clear statement of commitment by the President that he was eager to see the growth of businesses - to become the main pillar of the economy.
