Felix Kwakye Ofosu has defended his dual role as Minister of State for Government Communication and Member of Parliament, dismissing concerns about a conflict between executive and legislative responsibilities.
Addressing the issue on The Point of View on Channel One TV monitored by MyNewsGH, he stated that his position aligns with Ghana's parliamentary system and global governance structures. "My role is no different from the Finance Minister, the Energy Minister, or any other minister who is also a parliamentarian.
In fact, it is no different from what exists in the UK, where just about every secretary in the cabinet is also an MP," he explained.
His comments come amid discussions on whether the spokesperson for the President should also serve in Parliament, with some arguing that it blurs the separation of powers.
