Franklin Cudjoe, the Founding President and Chief Executive Officer of IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, has challenged claims that the Appointments Committee of Parliament has not brought out the best in the nominees during the vetting process.
His comment comes after the Appointments Committee has been accused of not living up to expectations. Sections of the public have not been impressed with the types of questions the nominees are asked, arguing that they are irrelevant to the portfolios they have been assigned to.
Reacting to this school of thought, Franklin Cudjoe insists that the Appointments Committee has served the purpose for which it was constituted, adding that the questions they ask cover all aspects of the nominees, helping the public to know the type of people who will lead them in the new John Dramani Mahama-led administration.
Speaking on Key Issues on Accra-based TV3, Franklin Cudjoe stressed that with the vetting of Samuel Nartey George, Minister-designate for Communications, Digitalisation and Innovation for instance, the Committee did a good job by asking all the relevant questions in that industry.
He strongly disagreed with the assertion that there were pertinent questions pertaining to the Communications, Digitalisation and Innovation Ministry that were not asked.
He opined that Samuel Nartey George was able to properly deal with the corruption allegations he made against the previous administration, as well as outlined his vision for the Ministry.
“I disagreed with those who say the ministerial vetting did not capture essential areas of interest. Almost all the relevant questions were asked,” he noted.
