The Executive Director of the African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA), Rasheed Draman, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the vetting of ministerial nominees.
Draman described the proceedings as a failure in accountability in an interview on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Tuesday, January 21 monitored by MyNewsGH. "I think yesterday in particular, when I watched the proceedings, of course, coming on the back of what happened last week, I just concluded that this is accountability going wrong completely," he remarked, voicing concerns about the NPP's inability to fully utilize their platform to hold the supermajority government to account.
Draman's critique focused on the opposition's approach during the vetting process, which he described as lacking in depth and focus. "We saw the opposition NPP that we are going to rely on in this country to hold this supermajority government accountable; we saw them waste a lot of the opportunities that were given to them to hit hard and exact accountability from the nominees; rather, they used that time on trivial issues and issues that really have no bearing," he lamented.
