The Minority Leader's concerns over Dr.

Johnson Asiama's appointment as Governor of the Bank of Ghana are not only baseless but also expose his deliberate attempt to mislead the public on constitutional procedures.

Contrary to his claims, the President does not require the approval of the Council of State to appoint a Governor for the central bank.

The constitutional requirement is for the President to appoint in consultation with the Council, which can simply mean notifying them once they are constituted.
