The Parliament of Ghana has officially approved four Members of Parliament as Deputy Ministers following a unanimous recommendation from the Appointments Committee. The approvals came after a vetting process held on July 25, 2025, during which nominees were assessed on their professional qualifications, public service records, and responses to committee inquiries.

The newly approved deputy ministers are:

  • Dorcas Affo-Toffey, MP for Jomoro – Deputy Minister for Transport
  • James Gyakye Quayson, MP for Assin North – Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs
  • Mohammed Adam Sukparu, MP for Sissala West – Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations
  • Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah, MP for Essikado-Ketan – Deputy Minister for Health

Consensus Builds on Competence and Public Service Record

Presenting the committee’s report, Chairman Bernard Ahiafor explained that each nominee underwent detailed background checks, submitted documentation, and addressed concerns raised during the public vetting. He confirmed that all four candidates were found to be “competent and suitable” for their respective roles and received the committee’s unanimous endorsement.
