S addressing delegates this weekend in Akwatia in Denkyembuor District to finalize his weeklong tour of the Eastern region before the presidential primaries of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), M Mahama said that many of the people appointed by President Akufo-Addo's government were either his parents or friends.

"The hypocrisy is scary. Joyce Bawa is my aunt's child. Apart from her, I had no relatives in government when I was in power; but they continued to insist that I lead a family and friends government. Today, they showed us that they run a family and friends government. This is what is called change of purpose. "
The former president is not the first to voice his concerns about Nana Addo's appointments.

The leaders of the Progressive People's Party (PPP) also accused the president of leading a government of "family and friends" following the appointment of his new ministers, among others.

He also said that the policies set by the government would produce only a slow pace of development in the country.

"We, PPP, are more and more surprised that the change of government, from the NDC to the NPP, seems to be repeating itself, it is only about changes in the personalities occupying high positions and positions of trust in our country and not in the important issues of reorientation ".

"How does a strictly partisan local nuclear power plant government guarantee all Ghanaians have the opportunity to participate?" Asked Dr. Brew-Hammond.
