The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Kofi Setor Dumelo, has been nominated by President John Dramani Mahama to serve as Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
This appointment highlights Dumelo’s growing influence and commitment to national development beyond his acting career.
Dumelo’s nomination reflects the government’s focus on leveraging diverse talents to address critical sectors.
His role in agriculture is expected to bring fresh perspectives to food security and agribusiness, aiming to boost the nation’s agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Last year, ahead of the 2024 general elections, John Dumelo urged the ministry, then led by Bryan Acheampong, to prioritise significant investments in irrigation and maintain stable prices throughout the year.
“We can’t keep on giving millions of dollars to our neighbouring farmers to import their tomatoes and onions while we (Ghanaian farmers) have the capacity to cultivate the same crops. Irrigation is the way forward,” he said.
