During the parliamentary vetting of Mohammed Adams Sukparu for the role of Deputy Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, a seemingly simple question sparked visible surprise among members of the Appointments Committee.
Committee member and New Patriotic Party MP, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, asked Mr Sukparu to define “coding”, a question that drew notable reactions from Shaib and his colleagues.
This moment sought to evaluate the Sissala West legislator’s grasp of core digital concepts in the context of flagship government initiatives like the One Million Coders Programme.
The programme is central to the Ministry’s agenda of digital transformation, aiming to equip one million Ghanaian youth with coding and digital skills, and positioning coding as a driver of governance effectiveness and economic growth.
