The minority in Parliament took time to hail the member of parliament for Nhyiaeso Constituency, Stephen Amoah following his appointment as Deputy Minister-designate for Trade and Industry, which was announced by the Speaker of Parliament.
Just as his name was mentioned on Tuesday, February 8, during the first sitting for the year 2023, the minority in parliament stood up and chanted ‘Sticka ooo Sticka’ while he sat in his seat on the majority side.
Even though the majority side did not react to the news, those seated by him were captured shaking hands with him.
