Mahama Ayariga and Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings to be vetted on August 25
Mahama Ayariga and Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings will face the committee on August 25, together with one nominee to the Supreme Court.
Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has directed the Appointments Committee to review the nominations of Mahama Ayariga and Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, who have been shortlisted for ministerial positions. The committee will evaluate their qualifications during a hearing scheduled for August 25 at Parliament. This decision came on August 24, shortly after the House reconvened from its recess.
Ayariga has been nominated for the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, while Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings is vying for the position of Minister of Environment, Science, and Technology. Their nominations were made by President John Dramani Mahama on August 7, following a reshuffle of the cabinet. In this reshuffle, Ahmed Ibrahim was transferred from the Local Government Ministry to the Works, Housing, and Water Resources Ministry.
The Majority Leader, Ayariga, was appointed to the newly created Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs.
In addition to Ayariga and Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings, two other nominees will also face the Appointments Committee on August 25. These nominees are also set to appear on August 26 before the committee that deals with appointments to the Supreme Court. This marks the first cabinet reshuffle of President Mahama's second term in office.
