Kojo Oppong Nkrumah the information Minister-designate has given the assurance of redeeming the 2019 pledge he made to the Upper East Regional branch of the Ghana Journalists Association at the EXTEE Crystal Hotel conference hall in support of the first edition of the Regional Awards.
According to Mr. Oppong Nkrumah who appeared a little shocked when the issue was raised by the Tamale North Member of Parliament Alhassan Suhuyini he said, the matter of redeeming the pledge was directed to the Chief Director of the Ministry at a time.
The Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah made a pledge of Ten Thousand Ghana Cedis (Ghc 10, 000.00) in October 2019 during the launch of the first edition of GJA award in the Upper East Region.
But disappointingly, the pledge by Mr. Oppong Nkrumah has not been redeemed as promised to the Upper East branch of the Ghana Journalist Association even in the year 2021.
However, during the vetting of Mr. Oppong Nkrumah by members of the Appointment Committee of Parliament on Thursday, February 18, 2021, he said, “I do recall making a pledge to the upper east regional branch of the GJA after I traveled to join them in one celebration. I do recall issuing the instruction to our Chief Director to ensure it was satisfied. I would expect that it would have been satisfied by now. If it is not, I will be happy to look at it once again,” Mr. Oppong Nkrumah told members of the member of the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
