Builsa South MP Dr Clement Apaak has said that President Akufo-Addo is “not a democrat” as it appears his “cabinet does not exist”.
He wonders why, four months into President Akufo-Addo’s tenure, Ghanaians do not know the ministers in the President’s cabinet even though the constitution mandates the formation of a cabinet.
“It is a constitutional mandate… Some have tried to argue that there is nowhere that the President is mandated within the context of timelines to announce his cabinet, but similarly there is no timeline considering the prerogative to appoint ministers. But he has already done that, so why not complete the process by letting us know… As at now there is no cabinet. It does not exist because we have not been told,” he told Emefa Apawu on Class FM’s 505 news programme on Thursday, April 27.
For him, the naming of a cabinet is important as far as good governance is concerned for “accountability and transparency”.
He was of the view that the public needed to know who was advising the president in the implementation of government policies.
For him, if Mr Akufo-Addo does not name the members of his cabinet it means he is “reneging on the attributes he has piled on himself”.
He said it would prove that the president is not the democrat that he claims to be and wondered “why it has become difficult to name 10 members or at most 19 so we all know” those in charge.

If u eat too much dog meat u tend dwell on irrelevant things
You have been saying this thing for some time if what you are saying will be considered i you would have seen or heard it.Just ***barred word*** and as you with all your background did not contribute anything worthwhile towards the previous government.
Apaak can go and burn the sea... The president will name his cabinet when he is ready. Remember there is no timeline.
Sometimes you can't help but wonder where some of these blockheads got their so called PhDs from. So how does naming minister A,B C or D as cabinet ministers bring money for free SHS, or clears the mounting debt of ECG and VRA or makes the president any less a president? Apaak, Please be told that your shallow minds could not get us anywhere except to pile up debts for us. So do us a favor and shut the H-E.L.L up.
Ok you made your noise you've been heard so go chalk somewhere.
We want improvements in our lives, not mere paper work. Who cares about who is in cabinet? We want results. Period.
