Minister-designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection Otiko Afisa Djaba indirectly jabbed Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa during her vetting before the Parliamentary Appointments Commitee.
During her vetting on Monday, the North Tongu MP sought from the minister-designate she intends strategising to "sanitize" Ghana's media.
Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa asked the Minister-designate to outline before the Committee how she would ensure that the media is perhaps checked and not allowed to blow things out of proportion.
In reply, Madam Afisah-Djaba answered that she would ensure there will not be any "babies with sharp teeth" in the media fraternity.
"We shouldn't have babies with sharp teeth," she replied.
The nominee's reponse was however followed up by a question from the Chairman of the Committee, Joe Osei-Owusu, who asked her to either explain the meaning of her answer or rephrase it.
Explaining her response, Otiko Djaba stated emphatically that she meant "we must expunge the babies with sharp teeth" but the Chairman however impressed upon her to describe those babies with sharp teeth.
The Gender Minister-designate thereupon indicated that she would ensure the use of insults and intemperate language from the media is halted.

When you see NPP you see Angles - really like seriously, another educated corrupt party has taking over Ghana, with lot of pride, ego, arrogance has taking over our country look at the minister designate posture , waooooo, someone who last spoke to her mother in November, someone who divorce, someone who don't have any motherly care, we said we want change and here is the change for us, COMPETENCY at work.
She won my heart. The answer she gave to that Sharp Teeth Baby was really appropriate. We have no time for stuppiddity.
I love this lady, her composure and answers speaks volumes of her intelligence. I am not surprise she has been given ministerial position.She will go far. We will now have a credible Gender Ministry with an intelligent woman in charge.
I hope by saying the position has been previously occupied by honourable women you are not including that arrogant, fat Oye Lithur? You see f00Ols like you must not be given any platform to air your views. What has ones ability to deliver in an office got to do with marriage?
