The Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has urged parliamentarians to support the approval of the recently vetted ministerial nominees.
He said there is nothing in the 1992 Constitution that contradicts their qualification for the jobs.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, he said “as we know now, for the records, nobody has come out with any contrary view on these nominees.”
According to him, although members may have critiqued the size of government, “…the captain in charge is also constitutionally mandated to look at his vision and again move along with a certain number.”
The size of government, he stated can be explained and justified, therefore, “there should be no worry at all for all of us to consider favourably, these nominees for they have earned it by merit.”
“So I call on colleagues to do the needful by supporting this report so that by consensus, Mr Speaker, …Easter is just around the corner we are in the period of lent and fasting – Ramadan also just started, let us tell the country that because of the lent and Ramadan, every heat in us has been subdued and that we can make progress,” he urged.
