Yesterday, Haruna Iddrisu the leader of the NDC Caucus in Parliament was in the news for calling on the president’s decision to make some Ministers hold on to their positions as caretakers as illegal. Citing a Supreme Court ruling, Haruna Iddrisu maintained that until due diligence, proper scrutiny and vetting is done no one could act as minister.
This generated a lot of discourse in the media. However, something else has popped up which has raised eyebrows. This started when Fatimatu Abubakar, an NPP communicator posted a letter which dates back to 2013 where the same Haruna Iddrisu was appointed as temporary minister of Communication. This came after John Mahama had been sworn in and was about creating his cabinet.
This new revelation is receiving a lot of reviews. However, checks show that the law which allowed this temporary positions was outlawed in 2019 and so really makes it illegal for the President to appoint temporary ministers.

It's so funny when we end up exposing ourselves when we try to expose others. Knowledge is power

Those condemning Hon Haruna are the ones that are hypocrites and don't read. Prior to 2019 there was a law that allowed for ' acting ministers'. So in 2013 it was very legal to have acting ministers. That law was repelled in 2019. Fast forward 2021 the one whose tenure masterminded the the repel of the law uses the same law he repelled and you say we shd clap for him and sing his praises for doing something illegal? Go read and leave Haruna alone.
