President-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, has postponed
the presentation of a list of proposed ministers who will serve in his
government to his party’s highest decision-making body.
Nana Akufo-Addo
was expected to submit the list to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National
Executive Committee (NEC) for review, however, at a meeting Thursday, December
15, 2016, he could not provide the list.
Another meeting between Nana
Akufo-Addo and the NEC has been scheduled, Joy News sources
say.
Speculations are rife on who will serve in an Akufo-Addo
administration, and with a large pool of experienced names to select from, the
president-elect is spoilt for choice.
Already some names are being
circulated in the media as the first batch of ministers who will form the new
Cabinet.
Speaking to the BBC after his victory, the President-elect spoke
of what he would look out for in a potential appointee to serve in his
administration.
He said whoever would be considered must have the fundamental
connect to the group of ideas and set up in the manifesto the Party has
articulated.
"Secondly, the competence and the capacity to master the
briefs that are going to be given to them and carry them out.
Thirdly,
the commitment to the Ghana project; loyalty to Ghana and coming to work for the
people and not for yourself," Akufo-Addo said.
New Patriotic Party (NPP)
Campaign Manager, Peter Mac Manu has said the party would be releasing the names
of persons who would hold the various ministerial portfolios
soon.
