The Minority in Parliament on Tuesday, February 7 abstained from a voting process to decide on the approval of Otiko Afisah Djaba as Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection.

The report on the minister-designate came up on the floor again after it was deferred last Friday. After the disagreements over the report, Speaker Mike Oquaye ordered the issue to be put to voting.
