Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minority Leader in Parliament and Member of Parliament for the central region’s Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam constituency, has voiced her deep displeasure with members of the National Democratic Congress for voting to approve six new ministers appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo despite earlier warnings.
He anyway expressed gratitude toward the other NDC MPs who stayed with the party’s positions and addressed “the desire of most individuals.”
It would be an understatement to say that I am profoundly disappointed with the outcome of yesterday’s proceedings. He wrote in a Facebook post, “I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the over 100 NDC MPs who worked tirelessly to represent the will of the majority of the Ghanaian people, although it is true that we did not achieve the desired reduction in the number of ministers under this government.”
The caucus will continue to collaborate to achieve its objectives, according to Dr. Ato Forson, even though the outcome may not be as anticipated.
The NDC had previously asked all of its MPs not to support the nominees’ approval.
The purpose of the position was to compel President Akufo-Addo to substantially reduce the size of his government.
However, despite the absence of three members of the majority party in Parliament, all of the nominees were approved after a secret vote.
According to Thursday’s vote, a number of Minority members supported the ministerial nominees’ approval.
The Minority Leader vented his frustrations on social media.

It would be an understatement to say that the outcome of yesterday’s proceedings has deeply disappointed me. While the facts really confirm that we didn’t accomplish the ideal decrease in that frame of mind of priests under this administration, I need to make a move to recognize and thank the north of 100 NDC MPs who worked eagerly to address the desire of most of the Ghanaian public.
These MPs have demonstrated their unwavering dedication to making our society better. Their unwavering advocacy for reducing the number of ministers is evidence of their dedication to our common cause.
Even though we might not have expected it, I think we can still work together to achieve our objectives. I remain hopeful that we can find a path forward that is to the benefit of all Ghanaians by continuing to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration.
I want to convey my disappointment once more, but I am also appreciative of the efforts made by those who represented our collective vision for a better Ghana. Let’s keep working toward a better future.
