No Ministry is frustrating another – Eric Opoku

Minister of Food and Agriculture Eric Opoku has rebuffed allegations of discord between his department and the Ministry of Finance. During an interview with reporters, Mr Opoku emphasized that no ministry is working at cross purposes, asserting that all government agencies are united in pursuit of the same goals under President John Mahama's Reset Agenda.

He stated, "No Ministry is frustrating the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. We all belong to one government, and we are working to actualise the same agenda—the Reset Agenda introduced by H.E. John Mahama."

Recognizing that disagreements can arise even among close-knit groups, Mr Opoku cautioned against interpreting such instances as evidence of disparate ministries pursuing separate paths. He noted, "You know, even in our families, in our small circles, misunderstandings and miscommunication do occur. That never suggests that we are doing separate things."

Mr Opoku reiterated that each ministry remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering on the government's development agenda. "We are working together to actualise the Reset Agenda, and so let us not create that erroneous impression that other ministries are working against some ministries. It is never the case. We are collectively doing the same thing to get the results," he concluded.
