Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has admitted that the vetting process for ministerial nominees has faced challenges but insists that there is room for improvement.
Speaking in response to public dissatisfaction with the performance of the Appointments Committee, he acknowledged that some mistakes have been made but assured that the process remains on course.
“It’s my first time as Minority Leader. It’s my first time vetting nominees. I will make mistakes; I won’t get it all right. There’s room for improvement,” he stated on GBS’s Breakfast show monitored by MyNewsGH.
Afenyo-Markin also downplayed concerns about public criticism, explaining that dissatisfaction with the vetting process is not new.
“This is not the first time we are having voting. The public would always express opinions,” he noted, adding that while some are unsatisfied, the committee continues to do its job.
He maintained that the process is ongoing and that mistakes will be corrected along the way. “Day in, day out, mistakes will be made. Day in, day out, there will be improvement. So let’s leave it at that,” he concluded.
