Ursula Owusu ‘sweats’ over Akufo-Addo’s law firm at vetting
Former Minister of Communications and
Minister-designate for the same portfolio Ursula
Owusu-Ekuful came under pressure when she took her
turn for her vetting on Monday, February 15, 2020

The outspoken Minister who was confronted with
happenings in the ministry she has been retained
said that she has no knowledge that President
Nana Akufo-Addo’s law firm, Akufo-Addo, Prempeh
and Co., is the Secretary for the Central Digital
Transmission Company Limited, a company set up in
August 2017 to distribute digital radio and
television signals nationwide. She made the
revelation today when she faced vetting at
Parliament’s Appointments Committee.

According to Mrs Owusu-Ekuful, even though the
company was set up by government to handle the
distribution of the digital radio and television
signals upon her assumption of office as Minister
of Communications, she did not know that the
Company Secretary is President Akufo-Addo’s law
firm.


The question was put to her by Member of
Parliament (MP) for Tamale North, Alhassan
Suhuyini when he took his turn to pose questions
to the Minister-designate.

Many on social media have wondered how she did not
know about the details of the company in such a
strategic company under her watch.

“The Communications Ministry under Ursula
Owusu-Ekuful chose Akufo-Addo’s law firm as the
company secretary for the state-owned media
distribution company without the Minister, Ursula
Owusu-Ekuful’s, knowledge. This vetting is
revealing so much,” Journalist Manasseh Azure
Awuni reacted.

Checks on the website of the Register General’s
Department show that Akufo-Addo, Prempeh and Co.
as the company secretary for the wholly owned
state company.
