The Presidential Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has held brief for the Minister-designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, in respect of her late arrival at the swearing-in ceremony.
The Gender Minister-designate who was expected to be sworn-in with five others approved by Parliament on Thursday, January 23, 2025, arrived late to the event held on Friday, January 24.
Explaining the circumstances leading to this occurrence, Mr Kwakye Ofosu said planners of the event sent the notice impromptu, thus the minister-designate gave an indication of her difficulty in arriving on time due to a family emergency that required her presence outside Accra. "In some ways, we were even unfair to her by putting her in that situation.
It was to her credit that she showed up anyway.
