Parliament will start vetting the first batch of ministerial nominees presented by President John Dramani Mahama today, January 13, 2025.
The vetting process kicks off with Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Majority Leader and MP for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam, nominated as Finance Minister.
Ato Forson’s nomination comes amidst economic challenges, including high inflation, rising public debt, and demands for economic reforms.
The Appointments Committee, formed on January 9, 2025, will oversee the vetting as required by the Constitution.
Next, John Abdulai Jinapor, Minister-designate for Energy, will face the committee to discuss his vision for the energy sector.
Jinapor, a former Deputy Minister of Energy, is expected to address issues like unstable power supply and energy sector debt.
His plans to develop renewable energy and stabilize the energy sector will be closely scrutinized during the vetting process.
Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, nominated as Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, will be the final nominee to appear.
The vetting will shed light on each nominee’s strategies to tackle the challenges in their respective portfolios.
