He was also a Minister for Employment and Social Welfare in Ghana. He was appointed in early 2012 following a cabinet reshuffle by President Mills. Moses Asaga had been nominated for a ministerial position in 2009 but was withdrawn following a controversy about some ex-gratia awards he had authorised.
