Minority to boycott vetting of Deputy Trade Minister designate

The Minority in Parliament has announced it will not participate in the vetting of Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, the Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry designate.

In a statement signed by Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson on July 2, the Caucus expressed frustration over the large size of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and its poor economic performance.

They cited ongoing severe challenges such as a crippling economic crisis, food insecurity, debt default, government corruption, and wasteful expenditures.

The Minority criticized the President's continued nominations, arguing it shows a disregard for the economic turmoil caused by his administration's policies.
