The Ashanti Regional Co-ordinating Council has expressed displeasure at reports carried on some local radio stations in Kumasi that President Kufuor has reshuffled regional ministers.
The reports believed to deceive the public as part of April Fools Day which falls today suggested that the Regional Minister, S.K. Boafo has been moved to the Foreign Ministry as Deputy Minister.
According to the reports, former Youth and Sports Minister, Edward Osei Kwaku becomes the new Ashanti Regional Minister.
However the Public Relations Officer of the Regional Co-ordinating Council (RCC), David Owusu Amoah told LUV FM that it is improper for people to joke about sensitive national issues. He described the joke as too expensive. Mr Owusu Amoah said officials at the office of the President have already heard the reports and are unhappy about them.
Though he could not name the radio stations involved, the PRO said the RCC is conducting investigations to find the culprits and will in due course invite them to answer for their action.
