Even if a new minister is nominated today, it will not take this short period to swear that person into office. That person is likely to be sworn into office in 2023. The deputy ministers can also not perform the function of the substantive minister,\u201d Dr Assibey Yeboah added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>more to follow\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
