Speaker Alban Bagbin has congratulated the six ministerial nominees who were approved by Parliament on Friday.
They are; Adansi Asokwa MP, Kobina Tahir Hammond has been confirmed to head the Ministry of Trade and Industry, with Dr Stephen Amoah approved as Deputy Minister.
Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Brian Acheampong has been approved as the Minister of Food and Agriculture and the Member of Parliament for Karaga, Mohammed Amin Adam, has been appointed as Minister of State at the Finance Ministry.
Stephen Asamoah Boateng is the new Minister for Religious and Chieftaincy Affairs, while Mr. Osei Bonsu Amoah heads to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development as Minister of State.
After announcing the outcome of the voting exercise on Friday, Mr. Bagbin said “Honorable members on your behalf, I will congratulate the Ministers-designate for being appointed by the President to the ministries aforementioned. Congratulations,” he said.
This comes after the six nominees appointed for various ministerial roles were approved after the Minority vowed to reject all the nominees because they want government to cut down on its size.
However, after hours of disagreements and a brief suspension, Parliament approved the six ministerial nominees.
