The Deputy Eastern Regional Minister, Joseph Tetteh, who has recently resigned from his position, has given reasons for his decision.
Mr Tetteh who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Upper Manya Krobo constituency in a letter to the President said his ministerial work is hampering his parliamentary duties and that he would want to concentrate on his constituency to retain the seat in 2020.
According to him, “I am reminded that there is an enormous amount of work to be done to consolidate the gains made in the 2016 election and deepen our footprint in the constituency. I have therefore decided in the best interest of the party and given the heavy demands combining both duties as a Deputy Minister and parliamentarian, particularly for a constituency, whose seat is nascent to our party, to respectfully seek your kind indulgence to tender my resignation with immediate effect. I am of the humble view that redirecting my energies and focus on my parliamentary duties will inure to the benefit of the party as well as myself.”
A statement from the presidency indicated that the President had nominated a lecturer at the Koforidua Technical University, Samuel Nuertey Ayertey, to replace Mr. Tetteh.

I though this man denied earlier reports that he had resigned? u knew before now that the responsibilities were going to be enormous yet u accepted the deputy ministerial position. u can give this excuse to the ple in ndc and they wil believe u but not me.
When rumours of ur resignation came u denied u had resigned.Later u resigned giving fanciful reasons.If ur mother is dead nd u say she is asleep it's up to u.
This is a planned thing. From the former Energy minister, Mr. Agyarko, then came Ms Otiko Djarba and the last to this deputy minister, Joseph Tetteh. It is as a result of the sacking of the energy minister. They are from the same area, KROBO. NPP should be very careful of the back biting in the party.
Better late than never. Some people are greedy. Keep piling positions while the simple work for constituents is not done. I hope others will follow suit. One man no chop
You are respectful man, not the dwarf man, i am coming down to spare some u who are good in favor to your constituency. The rest will be fired by head off
my dear, you have already lost that seat for sitting there as a minister and an mp to watch your people to relocate the only university that was coming to our land to another place. do you think we are sleeping? better go back and take your ministerial position and enjoy it to the fullest because is your last chance.
