Ghana’s parliament begins vetting minister-designates

Ghana’s Appointment Committee of the Parliament on Wednesday began vetting minister-designates presented by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Akufo-Addo is still in the process of forming a government for his second term and in line with constitutional requirements, he presented a list of 30 substantive ministers for various ministerial portfolios and 16 regional ministers to the legislative body for vetting and approval.

Only Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu and Minister of National Security Albert Kan-Dapaah have been re-nominated for the same positions.

The vetting is scheduled to end on March 9.
