Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, Minister-designate for Monitoring and Evaluation

My job is to 'police my colleagues' – Akoto-Osei
The Minister-designate for Monitoring and
Evaluation, Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, has told the
Appointments Committee of parliament that, per his
job description, he would be policing his
colleagues.

This, he said, would ensure government machinery
works in “efficient, effective and timely”
fashion.

The president, he told the committee, promised
Ghanaians change and “If we are going that
way…then it’s not going to be business as
usual.”
He said he would be a cabinet minister and that he
intends to have a technical staff to assist him.

Answering question on a possible role duplication
with the Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo Marfo,
Akoto-Osei said Mr. Marfo’s role would be to
coordinate the economic sectors.

He said his role is carved in such a way that
“there won’t be any conflict.”
“My job is partially to police my colleagues,”
the former minister of state in the previous New
Patriotic Party (NPP) administration said.

He said government cannot continue to work the way
it is “if we want results.”
