Dr Edward Omane Boamah, Ghana's defence minister-designate, has addressed concerns regarding his impartiality following his appointment, particularly in relation to his previous role as the Director of IT and Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
During his appearance before the Appointments Committee on Tuesday, January 28, Dr Boamah made it clear that he had resigned from his position with the NDC after the 2024 elections, emphasising that his current role in government would not affect his impartiality.
Responding to questions about the potential conflict of interest, Dr Boamah firmly reassured the Committee and Ghanaians that there was no cause for concern. "No Ghanaian should have any fear about my impartiality.
In fact, I can be the chairperson of the (EC) and I will be impartial," he stated.
