Deputy Minority Leader in Parliament, Patricia Appiagyei, has attributed the seeming disarray of the Appointment Committee to the lack of exposure of its leadership, particularly the Chairman.
She noted that both the Chair and the Ranking Member are entirely new to the committee, leading to inefficiencies and misunderstandings in the vetting process of the President's ministerial nominees. "Currently, we are undertaking the vetting of the President's nominees for the various sectors, and we've had a number of issues-not because of partisanship, but because both of the leadership on the committee now are totally new," she stated in an interview on PM Express on Joy News on Wednesday, January 29.
She pointed out that while experience in Parliament is essential, exposure to the workings of a specific committee plays a critical role in ensuring smooth operations. "The Chair of the committee has never been on the Appointment Committee, and then the Ranking Member has never been on the committee.
And these are some of the things that we need to iron out," she explained.
