Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale North Constituency, Alhassan Suhuyini, has said it will be worrying if Minister-designate of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba is passed and sworn in as sector minister.
All the Minority legislators on Parliament’s Appointments Committee voted against her approval citing her inability to undertake her national service as well as her posture during her vetting as reasons.
However, the Committee as a whole recommended Ms Djaba and five other ministerial appointees for approval by majority decision despite Ms Djaba’s refusal to apologise for describing former President John Mahama as “evil, wicked” and “an embarrassment” to people of the regions up north.
However, Mr Suhuyini said on Friday that: “I don’t think that it is culturally acceptable to refer to another person as an evil person or wicked person without any basis. If there are bases culturally, President Mahama was not just anybody but was the embodiment of what we stand for as a country. Referring to him as evil is not criticism that is an insult”.
In terms of the abilities of Ms Djaba to successfully run the ministry, Mr Suhuyini said “that was a Minster sitting before us and assuring us that she will take care of the vulnerable and aged in society as well as women and children. This is a woman who doesn’t even seem to have a good relationship with her mother, for us, we should be worried”.
Mr Suhuyini told Joy TV on Friday, February 3 that: “If she cannot demonstrate her ability to contain her mother no matter how much of a difference exists between them, then you shouldn’t be hopeful that she will have any care of thoughts for any vulnerable person who is aged”.

I am more worried with Suhiyini as an MP than Otiko as gender minister.
Does this guy(SUHU) think Parliament house is Radio Gold Studio.He must learn and stop the unnecessary NOISE making. WHO IS HE and WHAT CAN HE DO? Mama Otiko is far far better than OYE LITHUR and VICTORIA HAMMER a.k.a MADAM 1 million Dollars. She is not there to S'TEAL from STATE PURSE and that is SUHU. the Radio Gold Digger problem. To me as far as Mama Otiko respect the Chief Justice of this Land am okay.LONG LIVE GHANA and LONG LIVE MAMA OTIKO.
dddddd
Such r*u*b*b*i*s*h from a nonentity voted into parliament! Suhyini does not deserve to be in parliament but here we are. Even Mintah Akandor and Oti Bless were approved by these same NDC looters to become ministers.
OTIKU WILL BE THE MINISTER, IF YOU HAVE PERSONAL PROBLEM WITH HER YOU CAN GO TO HE LL. WHAT IS WRONG WITH WHAT SHE SAID. THE TRUTH IS BITTER
See who is talking. After all your utterances on Radio Gold you are in parliament. You can leave Ghana if you can't stand her been a minister. I guess you have no issues with anybody
Where from this otiko's mum talk,it seems the guy has personal problem with the woman..who voted you to parliament? Tweaaaa
This bumpkin used to sit on radio gold and spew ***barred word*** all the time.It is shameful that such a person should sit in the august house.Would it not have served the NDc better to have a person like Ezanator on the committee? I know she would have asked insightful questions instead of this bleating by this man who thinks he is carving a name for himself right from day one in parliament.The man is in such a rush to be recognised.
Suhunyi being in parliament is worrying.
Look all wat these lay people are saying no wonder insed of facing the tru u r facing human been any ***barred word*** no his fellow ***barred word*** so if mahama is weeked then is also ......
