General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has expressed worry about the situation of Minister of Environment, Science and Innovation, Prof Frimpong Boateng in the raging missing excavators saga.
Mr Nketia is unhappy that the NPP government has succeeded in destroying the integrity of Professor Boateng who was hitherto, only known for his excellence.
Speaking on Adom Fm’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Mr Nketia said the good old professor was better off retiring as an internationally-recognized Cardiothoracic Surgeon than allowing his reputation to be destroyed by the party for speaking his mind.
What hurts me most about these missing excavators saga is my friend Prof Frimpong Boateng. A whole internationally-recognized heart surgeon and you have allowed yourself to be disgraced by this government.
Look at what you have achieved in life. Even if he retires as a heart surgeon, Ghana would have served him till he dies but it is unfortunate his reputation has been destroyed because of this government General Mosquito as Mr Nketia is popularly known, lamented.
