North Tongu MP and Foreign Affairs Minister nominee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has been approved by majority consensus after the Minority in Parliament abstained from the approval process.
Their reasons for abstaining revolved around the issue of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), past controversies, and others.
With the Minority opting out, Mr Ablakwa’s approval was secured solely by a voice vote.
Meanwhile, Parliament has approved Dr Rashid Pelpuo, MP for Wa; Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, MP for Nanton; Samuel Nartey George, MP for Ningo-Prampram; Kofi Adams, MP for Buem; and Joseph Bukari Nikpe, MP for Saboba.
These nominees are awaiting their swearing-in by President John Mahama.
The decision followed a rigorous debate and voting process, underscoring Parliament’s commitment to scrutinising executive appointments.
