He said the government has failed woefully in communicating effectively to the Ghanaian populace.
The veteran journalist said most issues which could have been resolved and clarified easily failed because of the poor manner they address their issues.

His comment follows, when the Minister of Education, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh contradicted himself in regards to the implementation of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education for basic schools in the country.

He maintained that âWe in Ghana see it as imperative that sexuality education should be part of the curricula that we will launch in September this year from Kindergarten (KG) to Senior High School (SHS),âÂ

Kweku Baako reacting to the Ministerâs contradiction said government handled the issue wrongly and should have boldly come out to explain details of the CSE by bringing out factual, truthful information to dispel rumours but they failed terribly in doing so.
