1 min read
Parliament will later today deliberate on the fourth report of the Appointments Committee regarding the nomination of Finance Minister-designate, Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to Citi News sources, the Committee has recommended his approval by consensus.
Mr. Ofori-Atta was vetted last week over a two-day period.
He is the only nominee left on the list of ministers President Akufo-Addo presented to Parliament on January 21, 2021, for vetting.
Mr. Ofori-Atta had to travel to the US to seek further medical care, following complications after recovering from COVID-19.
This compelled the committee to postpone his vetting which was originally scheduled for March 8, 2021, indefinitely.
He however returned to Ghana on Monday, March 22, 2021.
