Asiedu Nketia Qualifies To Be On Parliamentary Service Board – NPP’s Nana Akomea

A leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party and managing director of the STC has defended the appointment of Johnson Asiedu Nketia as member of the Parliamentary Service Board.

According to him, the NDC scribe’s experience as former Member of Parliament is enough qualification to get him to hold that position.

“Parliamentary Service Board is like any other board in the country. The Speaker of Parliament has the power to appoint one or two and it provides for two former members. Asiedu Nketia qualifies because he is an ex-Member of Parliament,” he said.

“Speaker has the power, so there is nothing wrong. Normally, the NDC has one former MP and the NPP also has one. So I believe the NPP will appoint a member. When Hackman was a member of the board, the NDC had another person.

“It has generated reactions because of Asiedu Nketia’s position as General Secretary of the NDC. Speaker has the right and Asiedu Nketia qualifies. I hope he will help with his experience and knowledge,” he said on Peace FM.
