The Appointments Committee of Ghana’s Parliament will begin vetting ministerial nominees on Monday, January 13, 2025, at 9:00 am.
The session follows the recent nomination of three prominent figures for key ministries:
Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson for the Ministry of Finance
John Abdulai Jinapor for the Ministry of Energy
Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine for the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General
In a statement on January 10, the Committee confirmed that it is prepared to assess the qualifications and suitability of the nominees.
Dr. Forson, a noted economist, is expected to address the country’s economic challenges. Jinapor, with extensive experience in the energy sector, will focus on stabilising and expanding Ghana’s energy supply. Dr. Ayine, a respected legal expert, will oversee justice sector reforms.
The vetting process will allow Ghanaians to examine the nominees’ plans for their respective ministries, with the Committee’s findings determining whether the nominations will be approved or rejected by Parliament.
