The Deputy Minority Leader in Parliament, Patricia Appiagyei, has clarified her statement on President 's appointment of people from the north, which she made in a recent interview with Angel FM.
In a statement issued by the deputy leader's office, she indicated that her remarks have been misconstrued to mean that she was castigating the president's appointments of people from the northern parts of the country.
The office explained that Appiagyei, who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Asokwa, was only calling out the president over the low representation of women in some positions in his government. "The Honourable Member, in her interview conducted in Twi, was responding to a question about women and gender representation in President Mahama's administration.
She expressed concern about the lack of regional balance and the inadequate inclusion of women in government appointments, as mandated by the Constitution of Ghana.
