The Appointments Committee of Parliament will on Thursday, March 25, vet Finance Minister-nominee, Ken Ofori-Atta.

He is the only nominee left on the list of Ministers President Akufo-Addo presented to Parliament on January 21, 2021, for vetting.

A statement by the Parliamentary Service said the State Broadcaster, GBC will carry the vetting live at 10 a.m. and provide feed to other Television networks.

The Finance Minister nominee 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 indefinitely, which was scheduled for the 8th of this month.

Mr. Ofori-Atta is expected to be questioned by the Appointments Committee on Ghana’s increasing debt stock, the state of the cedi, revenue mobilization, the controversial Agyapa royalties deal among other issues pertaining to the economy.
