She previously worked as a branch manager for Verna Mineral Water and later became Managing Director of MEA Connect Consultants.
Her educational background includes studies at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana and the University of Law in the United Kingdom.
Her work as an MP
As a first-term legislator, Millicent has taken on parliamentary responsibilities while representing the people of Sunyani West.
She serves on the Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions Committee, contributing to parliamentary discussions on employment and labour-related matters.
Her position in Parliament also places her alongside her husband, Mahama Ayariga, who represents Bawku Central.

How Millicent's marriage to Ayariga came into focus
Millicent’s marriage to Mahama Ayariga became a major talking point during his ministerial vetting on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
During the proceedings, Appointments Committee Chairman Bernard Ahiafor introduced members of Ayariga’s family who were present and mentioned his father-in-law but initially did not identify his wife.
Ayariga drew attention to the omission, saying: “Mr Chairman, you have introduced the father-in-law, but you haven’t introduced the daughter.”
Ahiafor subsequently introduced her as “Hon Mrs Ayariga, formerly known as Hon Millicent Yeboah-Amankwah.”
The moment brought renewed public interest in the Sunyani West MP, with many people taking a closer look at her background and political career.
