Assin South Member of Parliament(MP), Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has expressed concerns over the exclusion of senior clergymen in the 9th Council of State members.
According to him, the clergy are disappointed in President John Mahama over the development, given their vital role in nation-building.
The former Education Minister said this on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen, stressing that in his engagement with some top religious leaders, he realised they were pained.
“Some very senior clergymen are very pained and disappointed because they helped Mahama become the President. Some of the promises we can say it is early days yet but most disappointing is their exclusion from the Council of State,” he stated.
Rev. Ntim Fordjour noted that it was their expectation of these clergymen that President Mahama would appoint them just as his predecessors did.
He recalled that former President Kufuor appointed Rev. Prof. Asante Antwi, Atta Mills appointed Rev. Dr. Nii Amu Darko, and Akufo-Addo appointed Bishop Justice Akrofi.
