January 31, 2018 10:21 AM

Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu said the vetting would last a day, but if it became necessary, it could be extended to another day.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in a letter to Parliament asked the House to deal with the nomination with as much dispatch as it had done with ministerial appointments.

"It is my respectful hope and expectation that the dispatch which characterized the approval of my Ministerial-nominees by Parliament last year will be extended to the consideration of Mr. Martin Amidu’s appointment," a letter from the President to the House, read by the Speaker said.

Chairman of the Committee, Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu said the vetting would last a day, but if it became necessary, it could be extended to another day.

He said members of the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and the Judiciary Committee who would appear at the vetting might be permitted to ask Mr Amidu questions.

Amidu's appointment has been hailed with many commending the President for appointing a well-known member of the opposition NDC to head the crucial establishment.
