General Overseer of The Maker’s House Chapel International, Dr. Michael Boadi Nyamekye has questioned the criteria for selecting people into leadership positions in the country.
Speaking with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM’s Drive Time Show, he stressed that before the selection of any candidate for a Ministerial postion or whatever, there must be a commitment test because most persons in leadership roles do not the vision of the Head of State and the country at heart.
He insisted on ensuring Parliamentarians and other state authorities are put to test and made to recite the national anthem or pledge patriotically.
“How can we tell a person to be a Minister of State and when told to recite the national pledge, he/she can’t but still we will pass him or her on? We don’t test for commitment. How could you become the nation’s Ambassador but don’t know the symbol of the nation neither can you recite its pledge? he quizzed.
“Should it then amaze you when someone who doesn’t know the national anthem and pledge is appointed or elected to a national position and he/she isn’t able to perform? Should you be surprised?” he questioned, adding “the person failed ab initio [to wit from the beginning]. Before he was given the job, he failed before the job. So, you just gave him time to demonstrate his failure”.
