Hence only three Ministers in the Cabinet hold positions in the executive Committee.
Fifteen Ministers do not hold any post in the executive of the NPP.
What is the position of each of the Ministers in Cabinet regarding the NPP?
Foroyaa will try to find out whether there are any conditions established for one to become a Minister under Barrow’s administration other than the conditions established under Section 72 of the Constitution. It reads:
’’ ( 1) The Vice-President and Ministers shall be responsible for such departments of state or other business of the Government as the President may assign to them. In making such assignments, the President shall have regard to the desirability of ensuring that such responsibilities are entrusted to competent persons with relevant qualifications or experience.’’
