The Member of Parliament for the Anlo constituency in the Volta Region, Clement Kofi Humado has been appointed Minister of Youth and Sports designate in the latest reshuffle by President John Evans Attah Mills.

Mr. Humado who is the only new appointee among the ten-man reshuffle list, has served on several Parliamentary Committees including Agriculture, Food and Cocoa Affairs, Environment, Science and Technology Employment, Social Welfare and State Enterprises. He has once been a football administrator.

He is sure that his competencies in management would enable him transform the Youth and Sports Ministry, promising to focus more attention on the development of lesser known sports in the country.

The Member of Parliament for the Anlo constituency in the Volta Region says when given final nod, he would use his managerial competencies to resolve the canker which has bedeviled the Youth and Sports Ministry for several years.

He replaces Akua Sena Dansua who has been moved to the Ministry of Tourism.

Her removal from the Sports Ministry was imminent following the ceaseless calls for her dismissal, due to her perceived awful performance at that ministry which has been described by many as “mine field”.

Mr. Kofi Humado will become the fourth Minister at the Sports Ministry in the two years administration of President Mills, after Muntaka Mubarak, Rashid Pelpuo and Akua Sena Dansua.
