He however the stated that the one percent is inadequate since science and technology plays crucial in the nation’s socio-economic development.
Dr Donkor who is a former Minister for Power during former President Mahama’s administration gave the commendation on the floor of Parliament in a contribution to a statement made by Member of Parliament for Oforikrom on ‘’Parliamentary oversight over Science and Technology Development in Ghana- a new Window for action”.
