Do Not Swear In Spio Gabrah - AFAG

The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) is shocked to the marrow at the open display of arrogance, and great penchant for inconsistencies cum lies during the vetting of Ekow Spio Garbrah in Ghana's parliament. It is worrying that a person who labeled, soon to be his colleagues; team B, could not justify the very reasons for labeling them so. Been "sorry" is not enough, the motive behind the call is one filled with hate, envy and "the pull him down" syndrome. Mr. President, would you want to include a person who has proven himself at the appointments committee level as a liar in your government? How would he relate with the majority of team B men in your administration? He lacks the moral judgment. Another worrying experience was the rapidity with which Spio Gabrah concealed his block headedness at the primary level. There is nothing wrong for him to have stated that he failed several times in school, and that explains why his age while at school did not match his current age. Mr. President this is absolute dishonesty. Spio Garbrah is not proud of himself. He is fighting a complex. The actions of Spio Garbrah gives meaning to Kweku anyidoho's assertion that, Spio Garbrah bought his honorary awarded PhD and that it was a cheap PhD. Fellow Ghanaians, the only achievement in government by Spio Garbrah as a former education minister was the introduction of academic/residential facility user fees for tertiary students, which have remained an albatross on the neck of students since 1998. His bad sense of judgment brought the "Mobrowa" struggle that resulted to the death of many students. Hence his affectionate call by students as Spio "Garbage". On the score of above, we consider Spio Garbrah as not worthy to be a team B person. At least some team B men are better than him. They were not block headed in school. We never heard of their consistent failures in school during their vetting in parliament. If they were, they probably would of have been proud of themselves. Indeed Spio Garbrah fits in team D. He cannot achieve anything for traders. He may be imposing more hardships on Ghanaians because he is good with tariff imposition just as he did with the introduction of the residential facility user fees for tertiary students. He causes the mess. Mr. President we advice you not to swear in the Team D prefect. AFAG Leadership
