The Member of Parliament for Tamale South has advised Minister-designate for Energy, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh to be watchful of his "mood and temperament".

“You don’t need to comment on this, it is a personal advice to you. My mother said that each morning I should pray for my tongue. So I will leave it there, learn to pray for your tongue and learn to manage your mood and temperament because there is some potential ahead of you as a young person......So, pray for your tongue. I just think that you should be able to manage it, you didn’t need to be provoked,” he urged.

This was after the Minority leader monitored the posture of the former Education Minister while answering some questions put to him during his vetting in Parliament on Friday, February 12. 

“when the Honourable Ablakwa and Suhuyini were questioning you, I was not particularly happy with your mood. Mood because scrutiny of this nature as observed by one congresswoman is to look at knowledge of subject matter, IQ, temperament and service to the Ghanaian people.

What they sought to do was that in the past, maybe call it exuberance, you probably before assuming office must have had your own view about who you succeeded. But I noticed that you were not particularly happy and you were finding it difficult to retract even when it was necessary" Haruna Iddrisu told Mathew Opoku Prempeh.

In response, Napo as the Minister-designate is popularly called said: “Thank you Minority leader, I take the advice for all of us.”
