Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Franklin Cudjoe, the founder and President of IMANI Africa, has characterized the ministerial appointments made by President John Dramani Mahama as a strategic and astute decision.
This assessment follows the announcement of the President’s initial list of three ministerial appointments on Thursday, January 9, 2025. During his appearance on the Joy FM Super Morning Show on Friday, January 10, Mr. Cudjoe commended Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the newly appointed Minister-designate for the Ministry of Finance. He reflected on his previous interactions with Dr. Forson and acknowledged his extensive experience within the financial sector.
“So, I was just saying that just on this call, knowing Ato and knowing the things he knows about the ministry, I think that he needs that support. Yeah, we should be able to give him that support,” he remarked.
Mr. Cudjoe emphasized that, in light of Ato Forson’s background in finance, he merits comprehensive support in fulfilling his responsibilities at the ministry. Additionally, he expressed the view that President Mahama’s initial set of ministerial appointments across various sectors represents a judicious and commendable choice.
“So it’s a clever appointment really. I think that when Jinapor gets up and speaks in Parliament, sometimes he exudes financial and economic charm that I ask myself how this guy came to learn this stuff so easily and have the humility to express himself so well, and then get things going,” he explained.
He added, “These two men [Ato Forson and Abu Jinapor] actually understand the policies of finance and energy as well, and I think it is an excellent appointment.”
Furthermore, Mr. Cudjoe conveyed his confidence in Dr. Dominic Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister for Justice-designate, describing him as a highly qualified legal professional who is unlikely to engage in any unethical practices.
“I think that he’s got the temperament and probably the experience and skill not to get into these choppy waters and probably become like a local champion arranging fixed matches, courts, and all that. That guy doesn’t do those things, he will never do such things. I mean, he is a properly trained lawyer and, of course, we think that he can deliver justice,” he said.
