Vetting of Akufo-Addo’s nominees to commence today
The Appointment Committee of Ghana’s parliament will commence vetting of the first list of ministerial appointment for President Akufo-Addo’s second term.
The vetting is scheduled for the month of February and the first week of March.
The process will commence today February 10 and end on March 2. The Committee is expected to vet three nominees a day.
The Minister-designate for Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu, and Minister-designate for National Security, Kan Dapaah, will face the Committee first.
The Minister-designate for Finance, Ken Ofori Atta, will be vetted on February 16 alongside Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, designate for Communication and Digitisation.
Due to Covid-19 reasons, every nominee will be accompanied by only four others.
Chairman of Parliament’s Appointment Committee, Joe Osei Wusu says they planned on vetting two a day but that will take a lot of time so they decided to go with three a day.
