Deputy Minister-designate for Food and Agriculture, John Dumelo has said he is not a member of any of the catholic church's secret society.

Appearing before the Appointments Committee on February 25 2025, the Deputy Minister nominee stated he's a staunch member of the Catholic church and a firm believer of the rosary as he carried it along to the vetting.

However, when questioned by the Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin about whether he's a member of any of the fraternity or society of the Catholic church, Dumelo vehemently declined being a member. "I don't belong to any society in the catholic church," Dumelo noted.

Although he's aware of the numerous societies in the Catholic church, the Ayawaso West-Wuogon MP explained that he has no idea about the activities of these societies. "I am familiar with them but not familiar with their dealings," Dumelo added.
