The Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has expressed shock at the outcome of the parliamentary vote to approve new ministers on Friday, March 24, 2023.
According to him, his utter disappointment is in the NDC MPs who broke ranks with the leadership of the caucus and voted against express instruction.
This comes after Friday’s secret vote saw more than 20 NDC MPs vote against the party’s position and approve the new nominees.
Taking to his Facebook page on the back of this, Dr Ato Forson reserved special thanks for the other NDC MPs who stuck with the party’s positions and represented “the will of the majority of the people.”
“To say I am profoundly disappointed with the outcome of yesterday’s proceedings is an understatement. While it is true that we did not achieve the desired reduction in the number of ministers under this government, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the over 100 NDC MPs who worked tirelessly to represent the will of the majority of the Ghanaian people,” Dr Ato Forson said.

To say I am profoundly disappointed with the outcome of yesterday’s proceedings is an understatement. While it is true that we did not achieve the desired reduction in the number of ministers under this government, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the over 100 NDC MPs who worked tirelessly to represent the will of the majority of the Ghanaian people.
These MPs have demonstrated their unwavering commitment to the betterment of our society. Their tireless efforts to push for a reduction in the number of ministers are a testament to their dedication to our shared cause.
While the outcome may not have been what we had hoped for, I believe we can still work together to achieve our goals. I remain hopeful that, by continuing to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration, we can find a way forward that benefits all Ghanaians.
Once again, I want to express my disappointment, but I am also grateful for the efforts of those who worked to represent our collective vision for a better Ghana. Let us continue to strive towards a brighter future.
