Vote against Hawa Koomson

“Some of us our going to urge our parliamentarians, those who will be vetting her to ensure that they vote against her and if they vote against her per the Constitution, the President will have no choose than to replace her”.

“Hawa Koomson I will say that, yes, the President might want to add her to his appointees going forward but some of us think that she had done enough; she should just probably be preoccupied with MP life and not have anything to do with the executive. She should just be in the legislative chamber and not be parading and be caring fire arm and be given warning shot” he added.

Mr Bonaa indicated with the current composition of Ghana’s parliament, it wouldn’t be difficult to vote against her appointment to force the President to choose another in her stead.
