Ursula Failed, Don’t Approve Her – CSOs To Parliament
Two Civil Society Organisations have told the Appointment Committee of Parliament not to pass Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Communications and Digitalisation Minister-nominee after her vetting yesterday.
According to these CSOs, Ursula made her inefficiencies known during the over six-hour vetting.
Sulemana Braimah, the Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) told Joy Prime in a report broadcast on Wednesday:
“How come she gets regular reports and yet would be unaware of a number of things that are happening at the NCA. I do not see it as something that we should gloss over. These are significant things.
“The fact that the President nominates someone should not be an automatic process for being confirmed. I think that the Appointments Committee has an opportunity now to demonstrate that they don’t just vet people and confirm them.”
Founding President of IMANI Africa also noted: “Largely on policies, she failed; her inefficiencies were apparent when Muntaka started drilling her. You could see clearly that she was fumbling all over the place.”
