Members of the Appointments Committee have recommended some 13 ministerial nominees for parliamentary approval.
These nominees include Information Minister-designate, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Food and Agriculture Minister-designate, Dr. Afriyie Akoto, and Minister-designate for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Hawa Koomson who were previously rejected by the Minority MPs on the Appointments Committee.
Giving various reasons, the NDC MPs unanimously rejected the 3 candidates selected by President Akufo-Addo out of the 30 candidates so far vetted.
But at a caucus meeting Wednesday which lasted for over 2 hours, the legislators resolved to pass the three and recommend them to the House for approval.
Other names that made it on the list are National Security Minister-designate, Albert Kan Dapaah, Defence Minister-designate, Dominic Nitiwul, Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Minister-designate, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Education Minister-designate, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum and the Minister-designate for Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
