President Akufo-Addo swears in Ayorkor-Botchwey in Ethiopia

The President had earlier on Friday swore in 12 ministers out of the 13 who had been approved by Parliament.

 

The short ceremony was held at Ghana’s embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Saturday.

Ms Shirley Ayorkor Botchway although part of the 13 was not sworn in because she was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where she was representing Ghana at a meeting of  Foreign Affairs Ministers in preparation for the AU summit from January 29 to 31, 2017.
