The parliamentary vetting of government nominees has sparked discussions on improving efficiency and accountability in Ghana's democratic processes.
Vera Abena Addo, a Programmes Officer at the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), shared her thoughts during an interview on JoyNews' Newsfile, emphasising the need for a more streamlined and inclusive approach. "So far, we've seen good questions from Parliament, which have triggered equally good responses from the nominees," Addo remarked.
She acknowledged the vital role parliamentary vetting plays in consolidating democracy, noting that the process enhances both vertical and horizontal accountability.
She also commended the media for providing the public with a transparent window into the proceedings. "We spend too much time on one nominee, often because some members ask multiple questions while others remain silent, particularly from the majority.
