The Deputy Health Minister-designate, Alexander Akwasi Acquah, has affirmed his preparedness to oversee the operations of the Mortuaries and Funeral Facilities Agency (MoFFA) if his nomination is approved.
During his vetting by Parliament's Appointment Committee in Accra, Mr Acquah expressed his willingness to manage MoFFA if he's assigned by the Health Minister.
In response to a question from the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, regarding his interest in overseeing MoFFA, Mr Acquah replied in the affirmative.
He stated that he is fully prepared to work diligently in whatever role he is assigned to.
"I will gladly take up that responsibility. Mr Chair, the Ministry is a very vast one, and as I know, it has always had two deputy ministers, so the various agencies are given to the deputy ministers. Of all that my minister will let me handle, I am making a plea that he gives me the opportunity to handle the mortuaries.”
