Ofosu Kwakye details why Gender Minister-Designate was late for swearing in

Felix Ofosu Kwakye, spokesperson for President Mahama, has emphasized the growing public expectations following Mahama's decisive mandate.

Speaking on TV3, Kwakye defended the president’s decision to dismiss Naa Momo Lartey for arriving late to the swearing-in ceremony for new ministers, citing the need for accountability and discipline.

The incident sparked mixed reactions, with some viewing it as harsh and others as necessary.

Kwakye highlighted Mahama's packed schedule, balancing local responsibilities and international engagements. Despite logistical challenges, the president prioritized swearing in ministers efficiently.

Lartey, delayed by a family emergency, was encouraged to attend but ultimately missed the event, conflicting with the president’s strict timeline.

The situation reflects the balancing act of leadership amid high public expectations.
