How minority nearly torpedoed Joseph Cudjoe’s vetting
After the a two-hour vetting of his colleague designated for the Sanitation and Water Resources Ministry, Mr Joseph Cudjoe, Minister-designate for Public Enterprise also thought he could easily sail through, but that didn’t happen.
Mr Cudjoe had a rough start, as Mr Haruna Iddrisu, Ranking Member of the Committee, demanded that the vetting be put on hold while they sought clarification into his portfolio.
Mr Iddrisu called on the Chairman to put the vetting on hold and request the Office of the President to provide more clarity and guidance.
This request was earlier shot down by the Chairman of the Committee, and an attempt was made to proceed, but a position from Mr Iddrisu indicating that his side of the committee was not going to take part in the vetting forced the Chairman to change his verdict.

The Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in Parliament, Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, has urged the President to, as a matter of urgency, comply with the provisions of the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845) that requires Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to provide Parliament with their handing-over notes.
He said even though Act 845 required ministers and heads of MDAs to prepare handing-over notes 30 days to the presidential election, no minister or head of MDAs had submitted their handing over notes to Parliament.
That, he said, would not auger well for Parliament to effectively vet and scrutinise government appointees.
