The Minister of State nominee for Public Sector Reform, Lydia Lamisi Akanvariba says she would "perfectly" perform at the Ministry of Health should President John Mahama reassign her to that sector.
In response to a question from the Minority leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo Markin, during her vetting on Monday, February 24, about whether she would consider moving from her current ministry to the health ministry, she said, "I will still work perfectly at the ministry because I still have the experience."
Lydia Akanvariba is a trained nurse and Member of Parliament (MP) for the Tempane constituency in the Upper East Region.
She has faced criticism from private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, who questioned her experience and suitability to lead the Ministry of Public Sector Reforms following her nomination.
