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.
Chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament Joseph Osei Owusu, on Tuesday suggested to Mr Joseph Cudjoe, Public Enterprises Minister-designate, to focus on entities set up as businesses with state interest.
Mr Cudjoe, MP for Efia, was nominated by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to head the newly created Ministry, at the beginning of the second term of his Administration.
Appearing on Tuesday before the Committee at the Parliament House, in Osu-Accra, Mr Cudjoe justified the creation of the Ministry, which he said charted a new path in the supervision of state enterprises to operate more profitably.
Mr Cudjoe replied in the affirmative to a question from Mr Frank Annoh-Dompreh, MP for Nsawam Adoagyiri and Member of the Committee, if he saw the creation of the Ministry as charting a new path in the supervision of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
