Personal Secrets That Were Revealed During The 2025 Ministerial Vetting

1. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s Controversial Diplomatic Past: During his vetting, Okudzeto Ablakwa was pressed about his role in certain controversial diplomatic engagements. He disclosed that he had been involved in several high-profile discussions and negotiations during his previous diplomatic postings, some of which had raised eyebrows within government circles due to their sensitive nature.

This led to questions about his approach to managing foreign relations. 2. Kofi Iddie Adams’ Previous Allegiance to Opposing Parties: In a surprising moment, Kofi Iddie Adams revealed that, earlier in his career, he had considered supporting a different political party before ultimately deciding to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC).



This disclosure caught many by surprise, as it reflected his complex political evolution and sparked debates about his true political allegiance. 3. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh’s Financial Discrepancies: During his vetting, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh was confronted with accusations of financial mismanagement during his time in a previous office.

He acknowledged some administrative errors but denied any intentional wrongdoing, which raised concerns about his ability to handle the budget and resources of the Ministry of Health if confirmed. 4. Nana Yaa Jantuah’s Relationship with Former Officials: During her vetting, Nana Yaa Jantuah revealed that she had longstanding professional relationships with several former high-ranking officials in the government.

This raised eyebrows because some of these figures were previously involved in controversial decisions. Jantuah emphasized that these connections would not influence her approach to her new role, but the disclosure led to questions about potential biases or conflicts of interest. 5.

Agnes Naa Momo Lartey’s Hidden Advocacy Work: Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, while being vetted as Gender Minister-designate, admitted to previously working in an unofficial capacity with NGOs on gender issues and women’s rights. However, she revealed that she had faced some resistance from local communities and political figures when attempting to address sensitive issues, such as early child marriage and gender-based violence. Her candid revelation about the challenges she faced highlighted her deep commitment to driving change, despite the pushback.
