The recently appointed Managing Director of the National Investment Bank, Mr. Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo, has stated that his new role does not pose a conflict with his parliamentary candidacy.
Mr. Fokuo emerged victorious over four other contenders to secure the governing New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary nomination for the Manso Nkwanta Constituency in the Ashanti Region.
Following his appointment by the Bank of Ghana to the position of NIB MD, concerns have been raised by the minority caucus and civil society.
Hiwever, Mr Fokuo told Accra-based Joy News: “I do my work assiduously”, adding: “I have no challenge in ensuring that the bank is run properly”.
He said: “There is not a single day that I have been outside the office that I am doing party work”.
“If I will be outside the office, that is my leisure time”, he pointed out.
He insisted: “I don’t see any challenge. It doesn’t conflict with my official work at the bank.”
