The Minority in Parliament has boycotted the approval of minister-designate for Gender and social protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba.
Otiko Djaba, refused to apologise to former president John Mahama for describing him as “wicked” and “evil” when she appeared before the Appointments Committee for her vetting.
Addressing supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the electioneering at Asawase in the Ashanti region, the NPP National Women’s organizer said: “President Mahama’s time is up…president Mahama is extremely wicked and so he must step down.”
The Minority caucus on the Appointments Committee made a fruitless attempt to get her withdraw the comments when she appeared before them on Tuesday.
Ms. Djaba, however, said she does not owe the former president any apology, arguing that she was simply exercising her freedom of speech.
Meanwhile, the Majority side of the House have reportedly approved her nomination as Minister for Gender and social protection.

i am not an ndc person, but i fully support the move to boycott that woman's approval. her arrogance and indiscipline is legendary. the fact that you want political power doesn't mean you should subject the presidency to such gross disrespect
Minority, let me tell point blank, Ghanaians are not prepared to dance to your tune. Otiko has every right to exercise her domof speech. What didn't Kofi Adams and Koku Anyidohu said about NANA ADDO. Minority members in parliament are all f.00000ls
This is pettiness, just to distract the Government. Lot of job is there to do.
That is all. There is work to be done
