Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, is making waves again on social media after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo presented a full list of his ministerial nominees for his second term on Thursday, January 22, 2021.
In this list, some names have already sparked debates.
Since the list was released, there have been concerns raised about the Fisheries and Aquaculture Development Minister-Designate Hawa Koomson who is on record to have fired gunshots at a voter registration centre.
To many, the President shouldn’t have appointed her for the second time considering her record in her constituency.

Following these, a section of Ghanaians questioned if her actions were befitting of a Minister and a Member of Parliament.
Her new appointment has, thus, been met with questions and concerns.
Check out some of the reactions of social media below:

Gun wielding politician why are in Kosovo
Hawa Koomson doesn’t develop ministerial appointment https://t.co/v4L77fiVJ3
Yaanom are here ranting that they will advise themselves if Hawa Koomson, Ursula & co are approved at vetting. 😆 please advise yourself already…

The funny thing is, when Ursula and Hawa Koomson are rejected, they will start playing the gender card.

You don’t want Hawa Koomson, Ursula Owusu or Adjoa Sarfo to be ministers yet you’re complaining about gender balance on President Akufo-Addo’s ministerial nomination list??

Hawa Koomson does not deserve this ! https://t.co/LLL3WGQyqo
Why are the NDC scared of Hawa Koomson? She’s too tough for them I guess.

Why are you not okay with Hawa Koomson’s appointment? Just tell us why and who you think should’ve been picked rather #PrimeMorning #AMShow #JoySMS #SneakerNyame #MaskUp #GhanaIsBeautiful 🇬🇭

The Reckless, Violent-Obsessed,Gun-Wielding MP for ASEC, Hawa Koomson has been nominated as Minister designate for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development. This is Akufo-Addo’s TACIT ENDORSEMENT of her RECKLESSNESS!!! Such a Shame !

You’re bleeding. The competent Hawa Koomson delivered at the special development initiatives ministry which has served its purpose. She spearheaded the ambulance per a constituency, a million-dollar per a constituency for capital investment projects and more! Stop your nonfa

One Person who will have a lot of questions to answer, if nominated is Hon. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
— Sulemana Braimah (@sulemana) January 21, 2021
Kelni GVG; Digital Migration; Central Digital Transmission Company Ltd; Shutdown of radio stations; many, many more. It’s going to be exciting!
Making sure Hawa Koomson does not become a Minister of the Republic ever again is a collective civic responsibility for us all. Please make sure it does not happen. Not now, not ever again.

Hon. Hawa Koomson delivered at the Special Development Initiatives. She’ll do wonders at the fisheries with her no-nonsense demeanour as a person because the stakeholders are very difficult & conservative to adapt to close season&other transformational arenas to mold the sector!

Should Hawa Koomson pass this vetting, 80% chance I’ll vote against NDC when Alan stands.

Hawa Koomson has been rewarded for shooting and brutalising NDC members, in her constituency. pic.twitter.com/itJ4dwfIhe

If Hawa Koomson pass this vetting ehhh then Ghana we are doom. As for the rest I leave it to them. No more rubber stamp these time around.

Hawa Koomson is a well grounded politician
— E.K.Ahenkan (@joeybills_) January 22, 2021
Hawa Koomson won’t make it. Obaa Rambo. Her actions have been questionable and not befitting of a minister or mp.
— Maameennin (@Ghana2030) January 22, 2021
We heard news of an MP who was shot and killed on a street. It’s interesting we have forgotten so soon and we are here today bashing Hawa Koomson for defending herself when she claims she was attacked by thugs.
