Don’t appoint regional ministers from 8th parliament - President advised
Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr.Isaac Owusu-Mensah has advised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to avoid appointing regional ministers from the eight parliament in order to prevent the constraint on the Government.
Explaining why there may be a constraint on the next Government, Dr.Owusu-Mensah told Samuel Eshun on e.TV Ghana’s Fact Sheet: “Beyond the numbers the Government is still even at a disadvantage because if you look at the constitution, it is very clear that majority of your cabinet ministers must come out of parliament . So that also puts some constraint on the Government but the president has worked in parliament before. He has been a legislator for a number of years so he also has some experience”.
