Sampson Ahi, MP for Bodi constituency and a member of the Appointments Committee in Parliament

Otiko Djaba's approval in limbo as minority rejects her nomination
The Member of Parliament for Bodi constituency and
a member of the Appointments Committee in
Parliament, Sampson Ahi says the Minority has
rejected the Minister-designate of Gender,
Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisah Djaba
for recommendation to the plenary.

“There is a general consensus for us in the
Minority not to support Otiko because of her
posturing before the committee and her response to
some questions that were asked her during vetting
yesterday. Off-course her approval will be by the
majority when it comes to the floor for
consideration,” Mr. Ahi told Fiifi Banson on
Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM Wednesday.

The MP said they will register their position for
the public to know why the nominee was rejected by
the minority members on the committee.

Gender Minister-designate Otiko Afisa Djaba who
faced the vetting committee yesterday was in the
news for several controversial issues that popped
up at vetting Tuesday.

Her refusal to apologise to former President John
Dramani Mahama for some “distasteful” comment
she made against her prior to the 2016 election is
undoubtedly one of the topical issues that might
have dimmed her chances to be supported by the NDC
minority side on the committee.

She’s reported to have upheld her earlier
comments that Mr. John Mahama was “Wicked” and
an “embarrassment” due to his inability to
develop the three Northern country where he comes
from.
