Hawa Koomson, Oppong Nkrumah face vetting committee today

The vetting of Hawa Koomson has been one of the highly anticipated sessions due to some past controversies.

She served as the Minister for Special Initiatives in President Akufo-Addo's first term.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah served as a Deputy Minister from 2017 to 2018 when President Akufo-Addo undertook his government’s first major reshuffle.

He was made the substantive minister after the reshuffle and served in that portfolio until the end of the first term of Akufo-Addo’s administration.

Adwoa Sarfo, Minister for Gender and Children Affairs designate and Ignatious Baffour Awuah, Minister for Employment and Labour Relations had their turn yesterday.

The former procurement minister took a bold stance against the LGBT community in Ghana when she appeared before Parliament’s Appointments Committee for vetting on Wednesday, February 17, 2021.

The Member of Parliament for the Dome-Kwabenya constituency stated that the controversial issue of LGBTQI is unlawful and has no place in Ghana’s cultural setting.
