Former Broadcast Journalist and now Member of
Parliament-elect for Ofoase-Ayirebi in the Eastern Region, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah
has been appointed as the new Spokesperson for the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
side of the Transition Team.
He replaces veteran Journalist and Lecturer,
Mustapha Hamid who also doubles as the Spokesperson for President-elect Nana
Akufo Addo.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah according to officials has been brought
in due to the heavy schedule of Mustapha Hamid who will have to move about
always with the President-elect.
His apppointment was communicated on
Monday, during the Transitional meeting between the incoming NPP government and
the outgoing National Democratic Congress (NDC) government at the Accra
International Conference Centre.
At today’s meeting of both sides of the
Transitional Teams which is currently underway, sub-committees will be set up to
discuss core issues bordering on the transition.
Currently, the only
remaining handing over notes is that of the Office of the
President.
