Parliament’s Appointments Committee to Begin Vetting Ministerial Nominees on January 20

The Appointments Committee of Ghana’s Parliament has outlined a schedule for the second round of hearings for the vetting of ministerial nominees.

Beginning on January 20, 2025, the committee will review the qualifications and suitability of three key nominees: Kwame Governs Agbogya, Haruna Iddrisu, and Eric Opoku, who is set to lead the Ministry of Agriculture.

The vetting process is scheduled to run from January 20 to January 27, 2025, with Parliament expected to approve the president’s selections to enable him to form his government and fulfill his commitments to the Ghanaian people.

The successful approval of these nominees is seen as crucial in ensuring the government is fully staffed and ready to execute its agenda for national development.
