Dr. Hanna Bisiw-Kotei rejected parliamentary opposition demands for her dismissal from the Minerals Development Fund leadership position. The Minority targeted her alongside Youth Employment Agency Acting CEO Malik Basintale after controversial responses to violence during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun. Opposition legislators characterized their conduct as inappropriate for state officials responsible for youth and women's empowerment programs. Bisiw-Kotei described the removal calls as laughable during her Wednesday radio appearance on Citi FM. She refused to express sympathy for former Fisheries Minister Hawa Koomson, who reportedly faced assault at St. Peter's Methodist Church polling station on July 11.
Basintale drew criticism for his Facebook commentary praising a participant in the polling station altercation. The Minority accused both officials of damaging Ghana's democratic institutions through their public statements. Opposition members demanded immediate termination of their government appointments. Both administrators signaled their intention to continue their official duties despite mounting political pressure. The controversy stems from chaotic scenes that disrupted the constituency's electoral rerun process.
