According to her, none of the nominees “is going to be rejected” because they belong to the majority in parliament.

Speaking in an interview with Class FM, Madam Susan said the vetting of ministerial nominees is “a formality that we must necessarily go through,” adding that:
"I am yet to see any of them bite, not necessarily this particular one, but over the years where they have said that this person is unfit for the job, especially when the party has majority and can push it through.”
A member of the Minority in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, on Friday, January 27 accused Mr. Agyarko, then a Minister nominee, of attempting to bribe the ten minority members on parliament’s Appointments Committee with GHc3000 each, in a bid to lure them to approve him as the Energy Minister.
The allegation came hours after the Minority had refused to support the approval of Mr. Agyarko and Yaw Osafo Maafo; Senior Minister nominee, after raising concerns over some statements the two made before the committee during vetting.
