Henry Kwabena Kokofu,former Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama in the Ashanti Region

I’m not disappointed my post was given to Sir John - Kokofu
A former Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama in
the Ashanti Region, Henry Kwabena Kokofu has
indicated that he is not disappointed a post he
was penciled to be assigned has been given to
Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu-Afriyie.

The former lawmaker last month was reportedly
appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
as the Chief Executive of the Forestry Commission
only to be swerved on Monday March 13, 2017.

Contrary to the earlier appointment, it was
announced that the former General Secretary of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) affectionately called
Sir John is now heading to the Forestry Commission
as the Chief Executive.

But Henry Kwabena Kokofu on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm
said he is not perturbed the job has been taken
away from him indicating that appointments to
various institutions in the country remain the
sole prerogative of the president.

“Sir John is my senior at law and a senior
member of the party. I will call him to
congratulate him. Appointments are the sole
prerogative of the president who knows who is best
for which job to help his administration. I am not
ready to disclose who said I was going to the
Forestry Commission”, he revealed.

He stated that he is not also ready to argue on
the matter and asked the host to pull his brakes
on the issue insisting that he will still continue
to contribute his quota to the development of the
party and government.

“I am still a party person. It does not mean
that it is only when you are appointed you can
help in governance. I am still working behind the
scenes to help the party and government “, he
added.
