As a state institution, Ghanaians were not expecting the ministry to host the Rebecca Foundation, and to share their success story.
As a result of this, most Ghanaians have shared their thoughts and comments, with most of them stating the obvious of the government institution now serving as a mouthpiece for an NGO belonging to the wife of the president.
Below are some comments the post gathered;
Sulleyman Dery referred to the NPP as a concert party.
