The Finance Minister-designate, Ken Ofori-Atta will on Thursday, March 25, 2021, appear before the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
This comes after the nominee requested a new vetting date on health grounds and had to travel to the US to seek further medical care, following complications after recovering from Covid-19.
He however returned to Ghana on Monday, March 22, 2021.
The vetting was originally scheduled for Monday, February 15, 2021, but Mr Ofori-Atta, who is unwell, was unable to meet it due to ill health.
In a letter dated February 14, 2021, and addressed to Joseph Osei Owusu, the Committee’s Chair, Mr Ofori-Atta made reference to the Committee’s letter dated February 1, 2021, inviting him to appear before it.
