Parliament to vet Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Mahama Ayariga today
The Appointments Committee of Parliament is scheduled to vet Klottey-Korle MP, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, and the Minister-designate for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, today, Thursday, August 27, 2026.
Today, Thursday, August 27, 2026, the Appointments Committee of Parliament is set to scrutinize the credentials of Klottey-Korle MP, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, and Mahama Ayariga, who is the Minister-designate for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs. Both individuals are among several ministerial appointments that President John Dramani Mahama has submitted to the parliamentary review process.
The committee's vetting schedule was introduced to Parliament on Monday, August 24, by Mahama Ayariga, who holds the position of Chairman of the Business Committee. This move comes after the Business Committee requested a waiver from the usual parliamentary Standing Orders requirement, which mandates the publication of presidential nominations before parliamentary consideration.
The waiver is designed to enable the Appointments Committee to move forward with the vetting process without facing delays caused by the standard publication process.
Following the vetting procedure, the Appointments Committee is anticipated to deliver its findings to the full House for further examination and approval, adhering to the established parliamentary protocols.
