Minority NDC failed Ghanaians in a shameful voting – Kweku Ricketts-Hagan

Member of Parliament (MP) for Cape Coast South Constituency in the Central Region Hon Kweku Ricketts-Hagan has described the approval of newly appointed ministers by Parliament as shameful, and a failure on the part of the Minority.

According to him, prior to the election in parliament to approve or disapprove the newly appointed ministers, many Ghanaians had faith in them (MPs) especially the minority that they were going to disapprove to reduce the number of ministers of government as discussed by the public  but that did not happen.

“The minority failed Ghanaians yesterday, no doubt in my mind. Especially after having the excitement of the people that we will do ‘ABC’ and then we ended up starting from XYZ. It was quite shameful we have disgraced ourselves as minority…we completely disgraced ourselves.  We engineered our own disgrace.” Hon Ricketts-Hagan said this on TV3 in a discussion monitored by MyNewsGH.com.

The Lawmaker also said that the action by Parliament did not seek to execute its responsibility of providing an oversight checks on the Executive arm of government.

Parliament after hours of voting on Friday night (March 24, 2023) approved the nomination of the new ministers appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

This means that the Adansi Asokwa MP, K.T Hammond will fully become the Minister of Trade and Industry after he is sworn into office by the President with the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr. Stephen Amoah serving as his deputy.

Same applies to Bryan Acheampong, Minister-designate for Food and Agriculture, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Minister-designate for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mr Osei Bonsu Amoah, Minister of State-designate at the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development and Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, Minister of State-designate at the Ministry of Finance.

At the end of voting, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin announced that 272 took part in the exercise while three MPs were absent.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities.
