Information Minister-designate, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, jumped to the top spot of social media trends last night after he was rejected by the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
Information indicates that the nominations of Oppong Nkrumah, Hawa Koomson and Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto have been rejected by the committee after their vetting.
The reports state that Oppong Nkrumah was rejected because some committee members believe he was dishonest with his answers on some key issues.
One issue that cost him outright disapproval was his connection with television station MX24.
It is believed that while Oppong Nkrumah denied any affiliation with the media house, some members of the committee are firm in their conviction that he is the owner of the company.
His role in the contempt charge of former Deputy Attorney General Dominic Ayine by the seven justices of the Supreme Court sitting on the 2020 election petition has also been cited as a reason for his rejection.
Below are some reactions from Twitter to the news about Mr Nkrumah’s Rejection.
