Many Ghanaians believe Hawa Koomson does not only fail to articulate her thought rightly and finds it difficult to speak flawless English but also lacks understanding about the ministry she has been appointed to head.
The Minister-designate for Fisheries and Aquaculture is currently facing Parliament’s Appointments Committee to justify her qualification for the role.
Mrs. Koomson was asked a range of questions, including the infamous gun-firing incident at a polling station last year.
She apologised for her role in the melee and explained that she shot a gun 100 metres away from the polling station in Kasoa.
The former Special Initiatives Minister also answered questions on the Fisheries Ministry from the Appointments Committee.
Meanwhile, Ghanaians on social media have reacted to Mrs. Koomson’s performance and it appears not many are enthused.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter:
I’ll be very surprised if the appointments committee really clears Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson to be Fisheries and Acquaculture minister. She doesn’t cut. She seems to know little to nothing about the portfolio she’s going to handle. I want more women in government but not like this.

That’s why you are not competent for the ministry. You don’t go for an interview when u know nothing about the job you are going to do.
That’s what we are seeing in Hawa Koomson https://t.co/wthRQVfcvI
