The Minority in Parliament is questioning the delay in President John Dramani Mahama presenting the remaining Deputy Ministerial nominees to Parliament for consideration.

President Mahama had assured that the final list of Deputy Ministers would be submitted to the house within a week during the swearing-in ceremony of newly appointed deputy ministers on March 12.

Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday March 18, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, expressed concern over the delay in presenting the list, highlighting the President’s unfulfilled pledge.

“The president whose government business you lead in this chamber has promised that he was going to ferry the names of deputy ministerial nominees to this chamber. He made his promise last week.

“He said in course of the week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, today is Tuesday. What is going on? What is going on? It’s your duty. If you want to litigate it, litigate it. But your promises made must be kept, Afenyo-Markin said.

But Mahama Ayariga, the Majority Leader, in response said the President could not be held liable in Parliament for commitments made outside of the house.
