Accra, May 1, Ghanadot - Dr Cadman
Attahh Mills, the twin brother of President Mills has said, his
appointment to the Economic Advisory Council by the President
was purely based on merit but not favoritism.
The appointment of Dr Cadman Mills as a member of a 10 man
Economic Advisory Council received sharp criticism from some
members of the main opposition party who said the President had
practised favoritism and nepotism.
But Dr Cadman thought otherwise. In a press release issued
today, he described his appointment as purely based on merit.
According to him, his broad knowledge in economics and vast
experience in the same field makes him qualified to be a member
of the Economic Advisory Council.
Dr Cadman noted that, Ghana could not be free from the global
economic crunch and it was important an economic council was
instituted to help manage the crisis with the help of existing
economic institutions.
He promised to bring his experience to bear in Ghana's quest to
managing the impact of the international and domestic economic
crisis.
In his career as a an economist, Dr Cadman Attah Mills had
worked with the United Nations and the World Bank.
