President Akufo-Addo and Evelyn Kumi-Richardson at the swearing-in at the Jubilee House
President Nana Akufo-Addo urged her new Bono region minister, Evelyn Kumi-Richardson, to shame her detractors and detractors who opposed her appointment by working hard .
During the swearing-in of the new minister at the Jubilee House on Tuesday night (April 15, 2019), the president said, "You had a strong vote of approval" and urged him to " work to shame those who oppose your appointment. "
Ms. Kumi-Richardson's candidacy was approved by Parliament on the night of Friday, April 12, 2019, by secret ballot.
One hundred and twenty-four deputies voted YES in favor of its approval, while 85 deputies voted against, out of the 210 votes cast.
A vote was rejected.
The minority refused to approve the appointment of Ms. Kumi-Richardson last month after her appearance before the Parliamentary Nominating Committee.
Doubts were expressed about her doctoral degree, as minority members of the nominating committee claimed to have entrusted the academic laureate because she had failed to provide proof on her resume.
The minority further accused Ms. Kumi-Richardson of having spent $ 54,000 of public funds on a private trip to Canada while she was the Sunyani Municipal General Manager in 2017, thus defying a government directive asking the appointees not to leave the country without authorization. .
