Relax, Ghana is One Big Family - NDC Defends Appointment of Asiedu Nketiah's Son

Ghanaians have been urged to stay calm and embrace their inner family spirit as the NDC government defends the appointment of Dr. Kwaku Asiedu Nketia, son of the party’s National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, as Acting Deputy CEO of the Minerals Income Investment Fund. According to party insiders, Ghana is like one big Sunday family gathering where everyone knows everyone, so naturally, qualified individuals might just happen to share the same last name as a top official. The association with the senior Nketiah is purely coincidental, and is deeply regretted. Nothing to see here, folks!

Meanwhile, NPP MP Collins Adomako-Mensah, struggling to keep a straight face, sarcastically welcomed the appointment, noting that it was "well deserved" given how Dr. Kwaku’s father, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, holds more positions in government than the food dispenser at a wedding. "I sincerely believe this is not a family and friends government," he quipped online, before reportedly being seen wiping away tears of frustration—or laughter, no one is quite sure.

Despite the uproar, the NDC remains unfazed, suggesting that those complaining should focus on the bright side: at least they’re keeping things within the extended Ghanaian "family" for efficiency’s sake. Analysts, however, warn that at this pace, future government job interviews might as well begin with the question: "Who’s your father?" Until then, Ghanaians are encouraged to sit back and enjoy the ride—because after all, we’re all in this family together.
