The first female Programme Director of the Anglican Diocese of Accra, Ghana, and newly appointed member of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Rev. Akua Ofori Boateng has cleared the air on her appointment.

She believes her nomination is due to her hard work over the years.

Rev. Akua Boateng also thinks that it is necessary for ministers of God to be involved in national decision-making in order to ensure honesty.

"The Bible tells us that the government rests on the shoulders of the Lord. So certainly, those of us in the church who are members of the body of Christ should be visible in the things that happen in our country."

The Reverend Minister also believes her election does not come from the government, but from the citizenry. She said the government appoints people based on public interest.
