The appointment committee of parliament is set to receive petitions, queries and concerns from members of the public as they prepare to subject Vice Presidential nominee, Kwesi Amissah Arthur to vetting.
Parliament on Wednesday agreed to publicly scrutinise the President’s nominee in the full glare of the public but the decision has been heavily critisised.
The vetting, which would come off on Monday, will partly be based on the nature of petitions and queries received from the public about the nominee.
Ranking member of the committee and Minority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu has however cautioned members of the public to back their petitions and queries with evidence.
He assured the committee will try not to delve into personal issues when scrutinising the in-coming vice president, saying: “The appointments committee is normally reluctant to delve into...personal matters.”
Meanwhile, Majority leader Cletus Avoka has said the committee is obliged to hold part of its vetting process in-camera if a sensitive issue emerged relating to Mr. Amissah-Arthur’s role as governor of the Bank of Ghana.
