A Fellow at the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Dr John Osae-Kwapong, has praised President Mahama for his deliberate and intentional efforts to achieve gender balance through his ministerial nominations for key positions across the various sectors.
Dr Osae-Kwapong's commendation follows the recent release of the president's list of ministerial nominees, including those for the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, and the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment.
Speaking on the AM Show on JoyNews, Dr Osae-Kwapong highlighted the importance of expertise and competence in ministerial appointments. "When appointments are made in government, one of the first questions that arise is whether the person has the necessary subject matter expertise in that particular policy domain.
But beyond policy expertise, the person must also be a skilled technocrat," he explained.
