The Finance Minister-nominee, Ken Ofori-Atta’s vetting is the moment envisaged to attract many eyeballs following the central role his Ministry plays in the economy.
It’s expected that issues including taxation, revenue generation and the widening of the tax net, as well as the infamous Agyapa deal, will be dealt with during his vetting.
Mr. Ofori-Atta at the latter part of the tenure in the last four years was embroiled in the controversial Agyapa Royalties deal which opened up the nominee to corruption allegations
Later in the day, the appointment’s committee of Parliament will vet the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs nominee, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu and the nominee for Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame.
