Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticized President John Dramani Mahama’s approach to ministerial appointments, describing it as a &#8216;tot-tot&#8217; strategy. 



His comments followed the President’s nomination of three Minister-designates for vetting by the Appointments Committee.



On January 9, President Mahama nominated Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson as Finance Minister-designate, John Abdulai Jinapor as Energy Minister-designate, and Dominic Akuritinga Ayine as Attorney General and Minister of Justice-designate.



Speaking in Parliament, Afenyo-Markin expressed concern over the limited number of nominations, arguing that a government committed to establishing a “24-hour economy” should have a comprehensive list of appointments ready, rather than announcing them in pieces. 



He warned that this piecemeal approach could lead to delays in critical governance processes and uncertainty in essential sectors.



“When the names were read out by Mr. Speaker, he read out only three names: the Finance Minister-designate, the Energy Minister-designate, and the Attorney General and the Minister of Justice-designate,” Afenyo-Markin noted. 



“Mr. Speaker, this ‘tot-tot-tot-tot’ appointment is unacceptable. This is a government that promised a 24-hour economy in opposition. They told us they were ready for government.”



Afenyo-Markin&#8217;s remarks highlight growing frustrations among opposition members regarding the pace of governance and the preparation of the new administration.
