Their first strike is an outright rejection of three key nominees by President Akufo-Addo while five others have been put on ice. The Minority, according to reports, rejected nominated representatives of the president in the Information, Food and Agriculture as well as the Fisheries and Aquaculture ministries. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Mavis Hawa Koomson have all been rejected by the committee which is set to table its recommendations before parliament this week. The rejection of Oppong Nkrumah, Hawa Koomson and Afriyie Akoto instead of the norm of nominees being approved suggests the house will now have to debate and vote on them.
