Parliament Speaker Mike Ocquaye ordered a secret ballot vote to determine the fate of Bono's appointed minister, Evelyn Kumi Richardson.
The nominated candidate who was accused of perjury by the minority when she appeared before the Parliamentary Nominating Committee last month is the only designated minister to be approved.
According to the minority, the proposed candidate defied a government directive asking the appointees not to leave the country without authorization.
Richardson was charged with spending $ 54,000 of public money on a private trip to Canada while he was the executive director of the Sunyani municipality in 2017.
Doubts were also expressed about his doctoral degree.
Minority members of the nominating committee claim that she awarded herself the academic title although she did not provide evidence of this in her resume (CV).

Subsequently, he was ordered to provide the committee with the necessary documentation to prove it, but this remains to be provided. On this basis, the minority refused to approve his candidacy.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said he was not impressed by the candidate's behavior.
"It is clear to the objective badyst that the trip to Canada was to attend a Rotary club event and that she therefore had to come up with all sorts of post-facto rationalizations," said the MP for North Tongu.
But the majority is not in agreement. Akuapim South MP O.B. Amoah said the candidate had done nothing wrong and should be approved when the House debated a report of the Nominating Committee on Thursday.
The coming and going will not end because the leader of the minority, Haruna Iddrisu, refused to compromise. He asked the President to order a secret ballot on the candidate.
Professor Ocquaye agreed and requested that documents concerning the process be prepared while the House was running other businesses, reported Joy News parliamentary correspondent Joseph Opoku Gakpo.
