However, others were displeased with their choice of words. The phrase ‘'chop the money some'’ sparked criticism, with many arguing that it encouraged the wrong mindset about public service.

John Dumelo, who has been an advocate for youth involvement in agriculture, did not respond to the request in the video and quickly withdrew himself from the ladies.

His recent appointment as Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture puts him in a position to influence policies that create job opportunities, especially in the agricultural sector.

He was appointed by President John Mahama to serve as deputy to Hon. Eric Opoku, who was recently approved by the vetting committee. The appointment was part of a ministerial reshuffle that included nine others for key positions in Finance, Education, and Interior.
