Accra, March 10, Ghanadot - The President, Prof John Evans
Attah Mills has withdrawn the nomination of Dr Nartey Siaw
Sapore, the deputy Communication Minister designate.
The statement by the President was read to the members of
Parliament this morning before the vetting of deputy
ministers designate begun.
No reason has however been given for the withdrawal of the
deputy Communication Minister.
The withdrawal of Dr Nartey Siaw means that the appointment
committee of Parliament can no longer vet him as the nominee
for deputy Communication Minister.
The withdrawal of the nominee by the President has brought
to two the number of Ministers whose nomination had been
withdrawn.
The first casualty of the withdrawal of the nominee
ministers was Hon Moses Asaga, Minister designate, for Works
and Housing.
What led to his withdrawal by President was that, he was
alleged to have issued a cheque for the ex-gratia awards to
be paid to the former President and Members of Parliament
without informing the President.
Meanwhile, ghanadot will in its consequent editions bring to
light what accounted for the action of the President to
withdraw the nomination of Dr Nartey Siaw Sapore as deputy
Mnister designate for Communications.
