General News of Friday, 30 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Volta Region got fewer ministerial and deputy ministerial nominations due to the ruling New Patriotic Party's (NPP) performance in the region which is an opposition stronghold over the years. “The President made it a policy to give deputy ministerial jobs to those who mainly are in Parliament, except very professional positions. Apart from the Attorney General and a couple of people, most of the deputy ministerial appointments went to MPs. “You could see that Volta Region has only one ministerial position and that one went to the only MP from the region…it is a pity, next time I believe there would be more ministerial and deputy ministerial positions from this region. Freddie Blay was addressing concerns raised by the party's rank and file in the region about the limited spaces that Voltarians had in the ministerial appointments.
