Parliament approves 17 Deputy Ministerial Nominees
Parliament has approved 17 Deputy Ministerial
Nominees referred to the House by President
Akufo-Addo for consideration.

The approved nominees include the Robert
Ahomka-Lindsey for Trade and Industry, Godfred
Dame for Attorney-General and Minister for Justice
and Patricia Appiagyei for Environment Science
Technology and Innovation.

A report by the Appointments Committee recommends
the approval all the nominees by consensus.

The Vice Chairperson of the Committee Sarah Adwoa
Sarfo presented the committee’s report on the
Floor of the House.

The Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu seconded the
motion for the approval of the nominees.

Meanwhile, the Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has
suggested to President Akufo Addo to consider
withdrawing the nomination of George Oduro, the
Deputy Minister Designate, for Agriculture.

He said a BNI report indicts the nominee and that
it will be appropriate to stand down his
appointments.

The Minority Leader stated suggested this when the
House was considering the Ninth report of the
Appointments Committee.

The Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu
responded to the concern of the Minority Leader.
