Parliament's Appointments Committee is set to review Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings' nomination for the Environment, Science and Technology Ministry today, Tuesday, August 25. This follows her selection by President John Dramani Mahama, who is making his first reshuffle of ministers after taking office.
