The Minority in Parliament walked out before the approval of Ministers and Deputy Ministers-designate by President Akufo-Addo.
They argue that the current economic and power crises are due to the government’s mismanagement, and believe that decisive action is needed rather than appointing new ministers.
Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, speaking before the adoption of the Appointments Committee report, stated that their caucus cannot support the approval of the nominees.
He spoke:
“Mr Speaker, the Minority does not support the nominations of these ministers, because of what the country has gone through and continues to go through, including economic crisis, food insecurity, “dumsor”, and reckless borrowing.
“Businesses are struggling. While the government has asked Ghanaians to tighten their belts, the government has loosened its belts.
“Piling up ministers and deputies does not signal to the Ghanaians the president understands the seriousness of the mess created.”
