Parliament of Ghana on Tuesday continued its vetting process for appointees nominated for ministerial positions by the President of the republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in accordance with Article 78 (1) of the Constitution that mandates nominees by the President for ministerial appointments to be approved by Parliament before they can act or hold themselves out as ministers or deputy ministers of state.
Taking their turns on Tuesday were Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah, Minister-designate for Sanitation and Water Resources, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, Minister designate for Transport, and Hon Joseph Cudjoe, Minister designate for Public Enterprises.
Madam Cecilia Dapaah during the process stated that Accra is on course to achieving its vision as the cleanest city in Africa.
