Finance Minister-designate Ken Ofori-Atta who appeared before the Appointment Committee on Thursday, March 25, 2021 at the new Parliamentary Office Complex has been rescheduled to reappear before the Committee on Friday, March 26, 2021 to complete his vetting process.
The Committee had to suspend proceedings on Thursday to continue on Friday due to the Minister-designates health condition.

In an interview with the Deputy Chair of the Appointment Committee on Wednesday, March 24, 2021, after the House has suspended, he confirmed that the Committee would hold its public hearing, but added; “For today’s public hearing, only the leadership of the committee will be allowed to ask questions.”
The Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Joseph Osei Owusu made the announcement after about some six hours of vetting on Thursday; a decision accepted by the minister-designate.
