However, Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo, Energy Minister designate Boakye Agyarko and three others were not part of the list recommended for approval.
The committee was said not to be convinced about the response of the Senior Minister-designate to alleged ethnocentric comments he reportedly made when he met some party members in the Eastern Region.
