The event held at the Flagstaff House in Accra saw the appointed twelve taking the oath of office, officially making them Ministers of State.

The Vice President, Chief of Staff and several other state officials were present to grace the event.

Parliament earlier todat voted to determine the fate of Gender-Minister-designate Otiko Afisah Djabah following the debate about whether or not she should be approved as Gender Minister.

With the house divided, members on the Minority side boycotted the ballot. The remaining 152 on the Majority side voted Otiko Djabah was approved as the Gender-Minister.
