The Deputy Minister of Finance, Stephen Amoah, amused Members of Parliament and the Speaker of Parliament with his use of the word ‘Floccinaucinihilipilification’ during a session.
While discussing a report on the Songor Salt Mining project by Electrochem Ghana Limited, Amoah cautioned MPs against politicizing the report and inciting the youth, describing such actions as ‘Floccinaucinihilipilification’ (meaning a worthless exercise).
This term prompted laughter among the MPs and a request from the Speaker for its definition, which Amoah provided.
Expressing sympathy for the people of Ada, Amoah emphasized that they should not be incited against the government.
He also mentioned that companies licensed to mine in the area should be required to improve the welfare of the Ada community by creating job opportunities.
