“I think that there is plenty of room for youth in technical work, but much of the cabinet type of level requires a lot of wisdom. I wouldn’t expect too many young people there. I’m talking about those below 45. Many of them will not be in cabinet position, but they will be in very relevant technical positions. I expect one or two of them but at this stage of Ghana’s development, I don’t expect a lot of them. They should be there as the technical advisers and not the decision makers.
“We saw these babies with sharp teeth and other things and they nearly ruined our country and destroyed our culture with impunity and disrespect,” Professor Adei said on Accra-based Citi FM.

He further urged the president-elect not to focus all his attention on members of his party for appointments but should consider persons outside the party as well.
“For certain areas, you must go out. Not many of them, you need to get a top person. For instance, when we started the petroleum ministry, Armah Kofi-Buah and the rest what did he know about petroleum? You go to a Ghanaian who is at the top and knows how to manage things for the sake of Ghana,” he said.
Meanwhile, the former National Organizer of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Boateng Gyan has indicated that the party’s defeat in the just ended presidential election can be attributed to inexperienced people who handled the affairs of the president.
According to Mr Gyan, only veteran politicians will manage the NDC’s future Flagbearer.
