Following a three-hour suspension of proceedings on Thursday, March 23, Parliament will reconvene on Friday to decide the fate of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-recent Addo’s ministerial nominations.
The Appointments Committee’s report on the recent vetting of the nominees sparked heated debate.
While the Majority pressed for the report to be taken on Thursday evening, the Committee’s Minority members denied knowledge of it and requested more time to study it.
As a result, the House adjourned to allow the Minority Group to study the 63-page report for the debate.
Following the debate, Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin postponed voting on the motion to approve or reject the nominees.
“The question will be put tomorrow [Friday, March 24]. I proceed to accordingly adjourn the House till tomorrow at 10 in the forenoon.”
KT Hammond for Trade and Industry, Bryan Acheampong for Food and Agriculture, Stephen Asamoah Boateng for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, OB Amoah for Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammen Amin Anta for Finance, and Stephen Amoah as Deputy Trade and Industry Minister are among the nominees.
