The nomination of Ms. Otiko Afisa Djaba as Minister designated to the Gender, Children and Social Protection Ministry is expected to face stiff opposition from the Minority NDC Caucus as the House as the House resumes sittings on Friday.
Six nominees, according to the Third Report of the Appointments Committee, have by consensus from both Majority and Minority Members on the committee, been recommended for approval as Ministers to the various ministries they have been designated to by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The report, a copy of which is possession of Kasapafonline.com, has however, recommended to the House to approve the nomination of Ms. Otiko Djaba by majority decision following dissenting views by the Minority members on the Commiittee.
“At the Public Hearing to consider their nominations, all the nominations demonstrated that they have the intellectual capacity, skill, experience and requisite training to occupy the offices to which they had been nominated.”
“This notwithstanding, the Minority Members of the Committee have indicated that they will not support the nomination of Ms. Otiko Afisah Djaba, Minister-designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection. Hence, the Committee’s recommendation that her nomination be approved by a majority decision,” the Committee’s report in part reads.
Ms Djaba’s fate is there expected to be determined by majority decision of members at the plenary when the House resumes sitting today.

Its rather unfortunate. These Men just couldnt belive she stood up to them. She didn't pretend. Must she bow and ignore her principles because she needs ur approval?? wow. this is what I call using your position to intimidate others.But she didnt bow. Was Nana not called a killer severally, claiming he killed his wife? how then do u discrib him? a killer or wicked man? Am sure he is less human so he deserved it right? Haruna and his partners in crime, please exit in shame and allow the NPP to start cleaning the nation up. Shame unto you all.
Exactly! And that is why it would have been needless for a Boakye Agyarko to bribe anyone for appointment! If ndc f00l soldiers can't get this logic then God help them! Ayariga is taking them for a ride!
Ghanaian are hypocrites. When Nii lante and others were insulting Nana were they relieved from their post. Ablakwa was most disrespectful and Otiko gave him the right answer. After all there was a minister who after loosing election went for items she has given to his own people. There is different between standing on campaign platform and discharging of ministerial. Go woman and will help u.
If Otiko can be approved by the majority in parliament, then what is all noise about by the minority. It therefore means that the minority are not relevant after all and becomes a mere formality to involve them during the vetting.
OTiko is a beautiful lady but she got all wrong and disgraced herself during the vetting. I think she should have waited for the vociferouse Urslla to have been vetted first to enable her learn some few lessons.
