Member of Parliament for Juaboso Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has threatened court action if the nomination of Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister-designate Otiko Afisa Djaba is approval by parliament on Tuesday February 7.
This follows her failure to honour her national service obligation as required by the country’s laws. The development, which generated huge controversy, led to members of the Minority in parliament vehemently opposing her approval for that portfolio on Friday February 3 on the floor of the house.
Subsequently Ms Djaba’s approval was deferred to Tuesday February 7.
Speaking to Class News, Mr Akandoh said he would not hesitate to head to the court if parliament approved her nomination.
“The law says that you cannot be employed by anybody, you can even not be self-employed [if you have not done national service]. National service is only nine months, at most one year; she should go and do her national service. Even the law courts will not condone, will not permit the breach of a statute. If they try [to approve her], we will all go to court,” he stated.
Ms Djaba incurred the wrath of Minority MPs for her refusal to apologise for describing former President John Mahama as “evil”, “wicked” and “an embarrassment” to people of the regions up north when she appeared before the Appointments Committee to be vetted for her ministerial position.

Oh Mr Dining Hall prefect, don't you have anything better to do than this fruitless venture? How confused and frustrated can the NDC be?
Run ahead of the approval so you can assemble the entire Supreme Court.
Hahahahaaaaaa look who is talking. This man whose only track record is dining hall prefect was made a minister by John Mahama. This is the level to which John Mahama reduced Ghana.
Ndc party is full of cr-ooks and people of low I-Q. therefore any idi-ot can become an mp. if not how can this dinning hall prefect will audacity to challenge otiko. she will be approved no matter what.
LOOK WHO IS TALKING. WHY DIDNT YOU RUN TO COURT WHEN OTI BLESS WAS APPROVED. YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET. NASAWAM IS BEING PREPARED FOR YOU AND YOUR CREATE LOOT AND SHARE NDC ***barred word***.
Only in Ghana will u find unruly, uncultured moronic young little rats like this one making unnecessary noise disturbing our precious peace. Here in the U.K., there young vibrant politicians/MPs who are busily learning the ropes of the game instead of ranting around unnecessarily. They are keenly understudying everything they need to learn from their elders and leaders to prepare themselves appropriately, disciplined and seasoned for their next levels. But u are there throwing tantrums so u can get a little notoriety. U are a joke. Is that what your constituents voted u for? When will u guys stop the pathetic party campaign politics and think of Ghana and serve its interest?
***barred word*** kwa ypu who didn't even have a working experience and making a dining hall prefect as your working experience was even made a deputy minister. What are you waiting for? You can go to the court now, ***barred word*** FUNU
All MP SHOULD BE MADE TO DECLARE THEIR NATIONAL SERVICE CERTIFICATES IT SHOULD INCLUDE THE SIX MONTHS MILITARY SERVICE AS THE LAW REQUIRES
look at a pig referring to his colleague as big mouth, haaa Ghana politics, Akandor dining hall prefect, i will offer you you free legal counsel,
What's his name? has he forgotten the then president Mahama referred to Nana-Addo as a rapper after his one-on-one interview with Sefa Kayi on Peace fm? He called him Opana and others... A whole first gentleman president. If the first gentleman as of the time could be this sarcastic, what should the last gentleman of the nation say or do? These NDC guys played God without permission and said Nana-Addo can NEVER be president with insulting campaign videos. Why, was and is Mahama some demi-god? This Sad SADA Saga, what words should be used to describe it. Looking at this man carefully, he's nothing but a noise maker.
