The Deputy Minister-designate for Tourism, Arts & Culture, Mark Okraku Mantey will appear before Parliament’s Appointments Committee, Friday.
He with three other appointees; Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, Herbert Krapa, Fatimatu Abubakr are the last of President Akufo-Addo’s Deputy Ministerial nominees to be vetted by the Committee.
The three will be heading to the Office of the Attorney General & Ministry of Justice, Trade & Industry and Information respectively if approved by Parliament.
These nominee will use the opportunity to inform the Committee Chair, Joseph Osei Owusu and his members about how they will assist their substantive ministers and make the President’s second term a success.
So far, 35 appointees have been vetted the 25-member Committee since it commenced vetting on Wednesday, June 2.
While others had the opportunity to be vetted the whole Committee, four others were unable to be intertogated by the NDC MPs on the Committee.
Ealier reasons provided on why the Minority MPs missed the vetting of Martin Adjei Mensah, Lariba Zuweira, Amidu Issahaku and Diana Asonaba was due to the unresolved violence that occurred at Techiman South in the 2020 general elections.
But Deputy Ranking Member on the Committee Muntaka Mubarak and his colleague, Mahama Ayariga have dismissed such claims revealing that they partook in the Green Ghana Project in their various constituencies per the order of Speaker Alban Bagbin.
