Prof Aaron Mike Oquaye, the former Speaker of Parliament has reignited the debate about the president having to appoint a number of Ministers from Parliament. In an interview with the state-owned Daily Graphic, Oquaye said: "I want a complete dichotomy. It allows better performance of MPs and ensures accountability and responsibility can be more insured because you don’t appoint him or her," he added. Let the ministers do their work and let the members of parliament also do their work and then check them," he added. According to the current arrangement in the 1992 Constitution, the President is bound to elect some Ministers from Parliament.
