Former President John Mahama has expressed his disappointment over what he described as "betrayal" from some NDC Members of Parliament.
This follows the approval of some Ministerial nominees.
NDC MP for Ketu South, Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie has taken to same facebook to respond to John Mahama's 'disappointment' post.
According to her comment under the post, she took pictures of her vote as "evidence of loyalty to God, country and party".
"I love you, Sir.
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and leadership. I took pictures of my vote as evidence of my loyalty to God, country and party. I am responsible for my actions and inactions.
"You and I cannot be held responsible for the actions and inactions of others.
"I promise you, we will work harder than ever. May the heavens and the earth give you courage and good health in these trying times," the former Toursim, Culture and Creative Arts Deputy Minister in the National Democratic Congress during their term in office between 2013 and 2017 when John Dramani Mahama was President commented under his post.
Parliament on Friday approved the appointment of six ministerial nominees through a secret vote.
Adansi Asokwa MP, Hon Kobina Tahir Hammond was confirmed as Minister for Trade and Industry with 154 yes votes as against 116 NO votes, while Dr Stephen Amoah was approved as Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry after polling 146 votes against 123 NO votes.
Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong was approved as the Minister of Food and Agriculture with 167 YES votes. The Member of Parliament for Karaga, Mohammed Amin Adam, was okayed as Minister of State at the Finance Ministry with 152 YES votes.
Stephen Asamoah Boateng is the new Minister for Religious and Chieftaincy Affairs, while Mr. Osei Bonsu Amoah heads to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development as Minister of State, having garnered 149 YES votes.
This result shocked the Minority to the roots with some accusing members of treachery and greed.

***barred word***! Bloody, boot-licking, blind loyalty, conscienceless MP. Can't you think for yourself other than along party lines? Do you always have to go chooboi, chooboi ways as a political party? What additional bill is the employment of these MPs as Ministers going to bring onto the budget? NDC is just being mischievous and causing disaffection for the NPP among Ghanaians. Partisan politics as usual.
this must be interrogated. she has flouted electoral rules and as MP she should have known better. Privileges committee wake up
NDC says the government of NPP is bloated and the president is refusing to listen. The work of NDC is cut out for them just convince the electorates to vote against NPP as you claim the majority of Ghanaians are against the huge size of Government. Why pitch your (NDC) members of Parliament against their colleague (NPP) guys whom the president has elevated with ministerial appointment. This is so unfair..some of them are like brothers and sisters in the house. Bagbin benefited from this gesture He can better explain this.
John Ford Mahama's b00t*licker
***barred word***...... Am MP who cannot use her own conscious. Do you need to take apicture of your vote? Mahama is nobody.
A legislator flouting electoral principles/regulations which prohibit the taken of pictures of ballot papers after thumbprint! Disgraceful!!
When some NPP MPs voted for the current speaker to win, NDC people were jubilating and making noise about infiltrating the NPP caucus. When the table turned against them, now they are raining curses on everyone. What goes around, comes around. MPs have conscience and mind if their own. Or I should say some MPs excluding the fear ridden ones like you know who.
You are even more disappointing than those who voted against. You mean you can’t be firm as a matured adult to take a decision on behalf of the people you represent without the camera.
Loyalty to Mahama but not according to your conscience? You cannot make an independent decision and choice......wow. We have wrong people in Ghana Parliament.
You took a picture of your vote? This is petty, childish and needless
