Parliament’s Appointments Committee has by consensus recommended the approval of Foreign Affairs Minister-designate Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Health Minister-designate Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, and ten other nominees.
These nominees were vetted on Friday, January 31, 2025.
With the exception of Akandoh and Ablakwa, the minority staged a boycott of the process after they received information that the Speaker had suspended some MPs and recommended the reconstitution of the Vetting Committee.
After the vetting, the committee by consensus recommended that all the 12 ministers-designate be approved by the plenary.
Alongside Okudzeto Ablakwa and Mintah Akandoh, the nominees set for approval include Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State in charge of Government Communications; Salisu Be-Awuribe Issifu, Minister-designate for the Savannah Region; and Wilbert Petty Brentum, Minister-designate for the Western North Region. Others are Joseph Nelson, Minister-designate for the Western Region; Joseph Addae Akwaboa, Minister-designate for the Bono Region; Francis Owusu Antwi, Minister-designate for the Bono East Region; and Puozuing Charles Lwanga, Minister-designate for the Upper West Region.
