The vetting process for the first set of ministerial nominees presented by President John Mahama will begin on Monday, January 13, 2025.

This follows the official approval of Parliament’s Appointments Committee on January 9, tasked with vetting and recommending nominees for ministerial and other senior government positions.

The vetting process will encompass a thorough examination of each nominee's qualifications and suitability for their respective roles, ensuring that only the most qualified individuals are appointed to serve in the new administration.

Among the first nominees to undergo the vetting process is the Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam and current Majority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, the Minister-designate for Finance.

John Abdulai Jinapor, nominated as Minister-designate for Energy, will then face the committee, followed by Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, proposed as Attorney-General and Minister of Justice-designate.

With the committee now in place, Parliament is poised to ensure a transparent and thorough vetting process, which will play a crucial role in shaping the leadership team that will support President Mahama’s vision for his new term in office.
