Kwaku Asiamah is from central region and has nothing to do with President Akuffo Addo's family. The last time i checked, Gloria Akuffo is from Shai.
They are not Cabinet Ministers and so What? Can all Ministers be there? Lets get serious!
Shame black stone, Hawa Koomson and Kwaku Ofori Asiamah are from Central Region. Catherine Afeku and Joe Ghartey are from Western Region. NADAA is mindful of all these balances
