Kwesi Pratt, speaking on Kokrokoo on Peace FM, stressed that it is "impossible" for Dr. Spio Garbrah to succeed Hanna Tetteh in the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
He was commenting on the alleged leaked statement which was released on Thursday purporting another ministerial reshuffle was to be undertaken by President John Mahama.
The report read that Dr. Spio Garbrah had been appointed as Foreign Affairs Minister with Hon. Hanna Tetteh sent to the Ministry of Gender and Social Protection.
Other names were Hon. Lee Ocran as Labour and Employment Minister, John Jinapor as Power Minister and Kwesi Awhoi as Defence Minister among others.
Though government functionaries have denied the report, Mr. Pratt believes the report would have been credible apparently if Dr. Spio Garbrah's name wasn't listed to the Foreign Ministry.
“If you hear that President John Dramani Mahama has removed Hanna Tetteh from the Foreign Ministry and replaced her with Ekow Spio Garbrah as Foreign Minister, you are to realize that it’s impossible. If he has good reasons why we should remove Hanna Tetteh and supplant Spio, let him say it. As for me, I don’t see any good reason,” he stated.
Also addressing the issue was a special aide to Dr. Spio Garbrah, Naziru Mohammed who registered his displeasure with Mr. Pratt's comments in an interview on Kokrokoo, stating emphatically that Mr. Pratt's remarks smack of mischief.
But in a quick riposte, Mr. Pratt refused to retract his words, questioning the logic in Spio Garbrah's submissions.
“Is it a crime if I don’t see any good reason in removing Hanna Tetteh for Spio Garbrah? Is this my crime?” he asked.
