The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has expressed concerns about the perceived disregard for established procedures in the Appointments Committee’s handling of President John Dramani Mahama’s ministerial nominees.
Speaker Bagbin noted that several complaints have been submitted to his Office, highlighting dissatisfaction with the committee’s conduct, which some believe is tarnishing its reputation.
Addressing Parliament in a formal communication on January 28, the Speaker emphasised the need for strict adherence to procedural guidelines to uphold the integrity of the Appointments Committee.
“Appointments Committee, we have crafted rules of how Appointments Committee should conduct the business of public hearing. That is the term used, public hearing of nominees of the presidents. I am not too sure there is reference to those rules in what I am witnessing myself.
“And I have received so many complaints from observers in Ghana and outside Ghana. This is an opportunity for me to draw your attention to it.”
