Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror has been named the new Clerk of Parliament by the Parliamentary Service Board.
His appointment was announced during the November 2024 Parliamentary Service Board extraordinary meeting, where three deputy clerks were interviewed for the Clerk to Parliament position.
He will replace the current Clerk to Parliament, Cyril Kwabena Oteng Nsiah, who will reach the compulsory retirement age of sixty (60) years on February 2, 2025.
The new appointee is an accomplished lawyer and one of Parliament’s longest-serving procedural clerks, with a distinguished career.
He has served as the Clerk at the Table of the House and has been the clerk to various committees, including the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, the Business Committee, the Committee on Judiciary, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The Rt. Hon. Speaker of the Eighth Parliament and Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Board, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has issued an appointment letter to Djietror, allowing him to begin work on January 1, 2025.
Mr. Nsiah has been directed to proceed on his due annual leave on December 31, 2024.
Djietror is expected to conduct the swearing-in of newly elected Members of Parliament and the Speaker on January 7, 2025.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament is expected to publicly announce the appointment of the new Clerk to Honourable Members of Parliament before the House rises sine die for the Christmas break.
