Akuapem North Member of Parliament Sammy Awuku is challenging the legality of the appointment of Ms Gertrude Emefa Donkor as Chairperson of the Board of the Ghana Tourism Authority, arguing that her current role as Managing Director of GoldBod Jewellery — a state-owned institution — disqualifies her from serving as a private sector representative under the Tourism Act, 2011 (Act 817). In a Facebook post on Sunday evening, the NPP lawmaker cited Section 4(1) of the Tourism Act, which he says unambiguously requires the Board Chairperson to come from the private sector.
