Prez Mills replaces Asaga with Abongo
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, Feb 12, Ghanadot - Mr. Albert Abongo, Member of
Parliament (MP) for Bongo has been nominated for the
Ministry of Water Resources Works and Housing by President
John Atta Mills. Mr. Abongo replaces Mr. Moses Asaga, whose
nomination was revoked following his approval of the
contentious ex-gratia awards recently.
He promised to work ardently towards
providing potable water for the majority of Ghanaians if he
was vetted and approved by the Appointments Committee of
Parliament.
Mr. Abonga's appointment to the ministry puts an end to the
case and shuts Mr. Asaga's dreams of becoming the sector
minister.
However, it is important to note that Mr. Abongo is a native
of Tongo which like Nabdam is situated in the Upper East
Region of Ghana.
The nomination of Mr. Abonga is strategic and political so
as not to offend the Frafra people. Thus, the
extraction of Mr. Asaga from the position will not be
misinterpreted as denying the people the chance to head that
particular position.
President Mills government is taking vital measures to
ensure that the withdrawal of Mr. Moses Asaga does not
create a political backlash in the area.
The people of that region have already insisted that
ministerial appointments be spread among the major ethnic
groups of the Region to stop undue tension in the region.
