Parliament on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 unanimously approved the appointment of four Ministerial nominees.
This was done after the usual debates on the floor between the two sides of the House.
The Minority as part of their recommendations affirmed the competence of the four nominees and found them competent for their designated portfolios thus joined the Majority side to approve them.
The approved nominees are
• Dr Rashid Pelpuo as Minister for Labour, Jobs, and Employment
• Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed as Minister for Environment, Science, and Technology
• Kofi Adams as Minister for Sports and Recreation and
• Joseph Bukari Nikpe as Minister for Transport.
The Minority refused to accord two nominees; Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister-designate for Foreign Affairs, and Samuel Nartey George, Minister-designate for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations the same courtesy, thus they were subjected to vote.
The Minority, however, abstained from the participating in the voice vote that approved the two by Majority decision.
