Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu has entreated President Nana Akufo-Addo to name his cabinet ministers to Parliament in accordance with Article 76 of the 1992 constitution.
Seconding the motion for the approval of regional ministers-designate in Parliament on Friday 17, 2016, the minority leader said 46 ministers have so far been approved by the House and the time has come for the President to name his cabinet ministers.
This, according to him, will enable Parliament to hold such ministers to respond to actions and inactions of government.
Haruna Iddrisu said, “If for nothing at all, I want to know the status of my leader in Parliament (Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu),” who is the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.
Article 76(1) of the Constitution states that “There shall be a Cabinet which shall consist of the President, the Vice President and not less than ten and not more than nineteen Ministers of State.
Again, Article 76(2) stipulates that “The Cabinet shall assist the President in the determination of general policy of the Government.”
The last batch of ministers approved are Kwamena Duncan, Central Region; Dr. Kwaku Afriyie, Western region; Simon Osei-Mensah, Ashanti region; Eric Kwakye Darfour, Eastern region and Ishmael Ashitey, Greater Accra region.
The rest are Kwaku Asomah-Cheremeh, Brong Ahafo region; Dr. Archibald Lesta, Volta region; Alhassan Sulaiman, Upper West region; Rockson Bukari, Upper East region; and Salifu Sa-eed, Northern region.

What at all is wrong with this Iddrissu man? If he doesn't have anything to say, he should better ***barred word*** and stop behaving like an ***barred word*** (may be he is one). What at all does he want from the president HE NADAA? Is he the to tell the President to name his cabinet? Doesn't the President know he has to name his cabinet? If this onaapoistic guy of a parliamentarian doesn't have anything to say, he should better ***barred word*** and stop behaving onaapoistically, because this act of onaapoistic will not help the minority in parliament.

what at all is wrong with the Minority Leader in Parliament? every move by HE NADAA President of the Republic is being critically opposed by Hon. Haruna Idrisu. can he let the whole country know of when JDM formed his cabinet ministers? your thoughts of continuing in government was swept away by the 'earth quake' that happened on the 7th of december, 2016. please, do a constructive debate which might be a consideration of ghanaians in the next 2020 general elections to bring back the NDC to power. the ahowyaa will not help you, it is sheer wickedness, pls stop it
oga which one concern you abi?
what does the constitution of Ghana say about the time frame for a newly elected president to name his cabinet ministers? As a law maker please come clear and tell us the exact deadline for naming cabinet ministers.
Had your Mahama named his cabinet ministers by this time in 2013? Had he even finished naming his ministers? NDC will feel the pain in OPPOSITION!
Oh Haruna,why this haste, take your time as they are in still in the business forming their government. Just not criticize of sake that you are doing your oppositional job.
Facts are factual but comments are free. Thanks for reminding our president. My worries are that some of the leading and influential members like Dan Botwe ,Joe, Miss Djaba might not be included and it may cause unnecessary tension in the party. I hope and pray that everyone should work hard to help the president and the government if they are not part of the cabinet.
