The Committee on Appointments and the Public Service which is being chaired and championed by the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Sheku B.B Dumbuya has done a spectacular job in vetting proposed presidential nominees through established procedures that subsequently led to their approval by the plenary. In strict separation of powers as determined by the 1991 Constitution, and in exercise of executive powers conferred on the Presidency, only the President has the prerogative to single handedly hire and fire ministers and other appointees at will, but that such appointments are subject to the scrutiny and approval of Parliament.
