We don’t want ‘bureaucratic conflicts’ with two housing ministers Asenso and Freda – Haruna Iddrisu LISTEN
FEB 26, 2021
Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu has questioned the rationale behind the nomination of Freda Prempeh as a Minister of State in-charge of Ministry of Works and Housing.
This is because the President has already appointed Francis Asenso-Boakye as the substantive Minister.
Mr. Iddrisu feels the appointment is a duplication of roles and is worried about “bureaucratic conflicts.”
“We will object strongly to bureaucratic conflicts within the ministry,” the Minority Leader said.
Freda Prempeh was vetted a day after Asenso-Boakye was vetted for a similar portfolio.
