I wasn't appointed to be a 'borla man' - Sanitation Minister

Sanitation Minister Joseph Kofi Adda has told his critics that he was not appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo to go about sweeping the streets and collecting public waste.

In his view, those clamouring for his dismissal do not understand the purpose for which his ministry was set up.

“…You send me to a new terrain, totally virgin area, a place like this that the president wants things done in a very deep-seated manner and you want that to be done tomorrow. You want the minister to go out tomorrow with a broom and a wheelbarrow to collect the waste; that’s not the minister’s job,” Mr Adda told Francis Abban on Accra-based Starr FM.
