Retired Supreme Court Justice William Atuguba has questioned why Korle Klottey MP Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings has not yet been appointed as a minister in President John Dramani Mahama's administration.
Justice Atuguba made the remarks during a memorial lecture held in honour of the first Speaker of Parliament in the Fourth Republic, Justice D F Annan.
Speaking at the event, he described Dr Agyeman-Rawlings as a principled, dedicated and upright leader, saying she embodies the qualities Ghanaians should aspire to see in politicians.
What Atuguba said about President Mahama's retention of NPP appointees
"Somebody like Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, she's not a politician. She is a woman of the people who have been following activities. I don't know her, I've never spoken to her, I've never met her. But I'm convinced that that's the kind of politician people should aspire to be," he said.
Justice Atuguba added that he could not understand why the Korle Klottey legislator had not yet been given a ministerial appointment.

"I don't know why she's not yet a minister. I hope by saying that I've not destroyed her chances," he remarked.
He went on to praise her character, asking, "Why not? Such a woman of principle, of dedication, of integrity. Why not?"
