Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh has once again thrown jabs at his predecessor, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and former president, John Mahama.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh described the performance of the Mahama’s administration as very poor during their tenure in government.
In an interview with Nana Aba Anamoah on the State of Affairs show on GHOne TV, he stated that the former president Mahama decided to chide him because his corrupt moves have been exposed.
The Minister emphasized, "I exposed the rot he left, why wouldn’t he attack me? I wish the former president could have said he made budgetary allowances for the buses and it wasn’t paid for. I don’t listen to these things. I don’t fall for such things.”
“The former minister was also roaming from radio station to radio station lambasting the government that she’s seeing no policy document and budgetary line with regards to the free SHS and the buses.”
“She said she started the free SHS yet she could not produce the policy document for it and also for the buses. If she said she started it she should show us the policy document. Where is it? I was expecting her to contribute positively, not to turn into a propaganda outfit.’’
Background
In a statement released on Monday, the office of former President John Mahama said the comments by Dr. Mathew Opoku-Prempeh were “arrogant” and reflects his frustrations at delivering on his mandate.
“I guess his comments are borne more out of arrogance and the realisation that the standards set by Professor Opoku-Agyemang at the Education Ministry are far higher for him to stand up to, let alone surpass,” the statement signed by John Mahama’s special aide, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, said.
“What kind of arrogance would make a trainee-Minister who is still struggling to understand the mandate of his office, declare that a world-renowned and experienced educationist does not know anything about education?” the statement quizzed.

See a pot calling the kettle black. Truth be told, the fact is that the Prof left huge debts for us to pay. Should we commend her for that?
So called Professor without vision to lead the Education Ministry. Hence the falling Education Standards from 2009 to 2016. If you are Professor and CANNOT do what it entails with Professor and you are what? Use- less. This is how the country Ghana was ruled since 2009 to 2016.
Who is more arrogant than an ndc idi*t, do you understand the word arrogant or because ndc do not read they find everyyhing difficult to understand? i love his arrogance so you can go to hell ! NAPO more VIM ! They fear whoever challenges them and call the person arrogant. I hate people who treat these idi*ts in the ndc with kids gloves, they hate Ghana and everything in it so they must also be hated,they are anti-Ghana and wish the destruction of this nation so must be kept out of power. Napo, dwedwam, bobom say it all to confuse their camp they are good for nothing ***barred word***. AKRONFUO !!
Arrogance will surely lead to the fall of this man.
He is a Doctor born by good people not fo*ls. He was educated by his parents and i tell you he is a very nice guy but wouldn't take ndc nons*nse. Oseikrom ni ba, you think everybody can tolerate you people? i love his arrogance to the arrogance of the ndc wicked and callous people. Why wouldn't he be arrogant to you when you are ste*ling from the resources of his fathers and mohers meant to help the poor and needy in Ghana ? mo y3 nkwaseafuo! Their cocoa, Gold bauxite etc gave most of you us*less fo*ls scholarship and free education which john mahama was a beneficiary. You want us to respect you when you get power to destroy our country ? ***barred word*** kwa ! he can't take you like most of us. You people should have been the last to destroy this Ghana looking at how Ghana has helped you to be who you are today. Which country in Africa declared part of it as deprived for the people to get free education tell me? Scholarship scheme was set up to help others too with brilliant children but poor all these from the resources of others who don't even benefit from their own resources and these people Ghana has helped talk to the people with arrogsnce and ste*l with impunity and bang tables when talking in parliament and they expect us to bring them to power to show their dirty arrogance and opulence lifestyle with impunity because Ghanaians are weak. The most annoing part of it is if these people had all the resources of Ghana in their areas they would have said they are not Ghanaians so will secede because they wouldn't allow others to enjoy their God giving gifts, and these people are banging tables on us and telling us to keep quiet when you say your mind and they,they call you arrogant. Ndc, ndc will rot in opposition. Ghanaians believe in Nana Addo and they are satisfied with the government so ndc can go to hell who cares !
