Minister of State nominee for Public Sector Reform, Lydia Lamisi Akanvariba, has expressed confidence in her ability to excel in any role assigned to her by President John Mahama, including a potential reassignment to the Ministry of Health.
During her vetting on Monday, February 24, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin posed a question regarding her willingness to transition from her current portfolio to the health sector.
In response, Akanvariba affirmed her readiness for the challenge. "I will still work perfectly at the ministry because I still have the experience," she stated.
Akanvariba, who currently serves as the Member of Parliament for the Tempane constituency in the Upper East Region, brings a solid background in healthcare as a trained nurse.
Despite her qualifications, her nomination has sparked debate, with private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu questioning her experience and suitability for the Public Sector Reform role.
However, Akanvariba remains unfazed by the criticism, expressing confidence in her ability to lead effectively regardless of the ministry she serves.
