Parliament has by consensus approved the 7 nomination of president John Dramani Mahama for ministerial appointments.

This follows a recommendation by the appointment Committee to the House to approve the nominees.

The seven nominees are Prosper Douglas Bani- Minister Designate for the Interior, Hon. Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye (MP)- Minister Designate for Youth & Sports, John Alexander Ackon- Minister Designate for the Ashanti Region, Hon. Kweku Ricketts Hagan (MP)- Minister Designate for the Central Region, Mavis Ama Frimpong- Minister Designate for the Eastern Region, Abdallah Abubakari- Minister Designate for the Northern Region, Hon. Albert Abongo (MP)- Minister Designate for the Upper East Region.

However, the committee noted that the nominees were not diligent enough in the preparation of their CV’s.

Chairman of the Committee, Ebo Barto-Oduro presenting his report to Members at a plenary sittinng said there were too many gaps, overlaps and seeming conflict in the CVs submitted by the nominees.

He urged the nominees to exercise greater diligence in their respective endeavours.
