President John Dramani Mahama has nominated Mr. Ato Sarpong as a Deputy Minister for Communications.
This was announced in a statement signed by the Head of Communications at the Presidency, Ben Dotsei Malor.
The statement said Mr. Sarpong, an accountant by profession, "has worked in the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector for close to two decades, serving as Managing Director of AfricaOnline, an Internet Service Provider and Chief Operating Officer of K-Net Limited, an IT Engineering firm".
“In addition to earlier stints as a Senior Auditor with Ernst & Young, Mr. Sarpong has worked as a Business Consultant for TV3 Network Limited and the Multimedia Group Limited in Accra,” the statement added.
Mr Sarpong replaces Ms Victoria Hammah, who was sacked over a leaked tape in which a voice said to be hers was heard saying that she would not quit politics until she had made $1 million.
