Mahama’s ministers will meet expectations – Edem Agbana

Edem Agbana, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North, has expressed strong confidence in the capabilities of President John Dramani Mahama’s ministerial nominees.

Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV on Saturday, January 18, 2025, Agbana praised the selection of individuals he believes are well-equipped to tackle the country’s most pressing challenges.

Pointing to the appointees’ solid backgrounds and active campaign involvement, Agbana stated that he would be surprised if the nominees failed to meet expectations.

“In this appointment, you have individuals who lived right here with us, deeply involved in the politics of the day and are connected with the grassroots not only of the party but also to the ordinary Ghanaian. They are people who are accessible, affable, and understand clearly the challenges of the day.

“It is these people who are being given the opportunities to manage these ministries. I will be very surprised if any of these ministers do not perform or live up to expectations. Looking at their background, and involvement in the campaign,” Agbana remarked.

President John Dramani Mahama has announced the nomination of several key individuals to serve as ministers in his administration. Among the nominees are Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson as Minister-Designate for Finance, Dr. Dominic Ayine as Attorney General, John Jinapor as Minister-Designate for Energy, Governs Kwame Agbodza as Minister-Designate for Roads and Highways, and Haruna Iddrisu as Minister-Designate for Education, along with others.

Having pledged to maintain a lean government with only 60 ministers, President Mahama is expected to finalize the full list of appointees on Monday, January 20, 2025.
