In a post on Facebook Monday [March 29, 2021], Mr Arhin said the list or report was completely fake and must be disregarded.

“This list or report is completely fake. Kindly disregard. The President has not released any list of deputy ministers, neither has he submitted any such list to Parliament. If and when he does, you will see it here first,” he stated.

Deputy Ministers list

For the past few weeks, supposed lists and publications of deputy minister nominees by the president had been circulating especially on social media with some of the names coming from personalities from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
