In an effort to improve legislative monitoring and governance, Parliament has announced a reorganization of its committees, including the appointment of prominent leadership.

In another significant appointment, Isaac Adongo, Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, has been named Chairman of the Finance Committee. With his expertise in economic and fiscal matters, Adongo will lead the committee in reviewing the national budget, tax policies, and other critical financial issues.

Among other key changes, Abena Osei-Asare has been appointed as Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), a crucial body responsible for scrutinizing government financial expenditures and ensuring accountability in the use of public funds. She succeeds James Avedzi, the former Member of Parliament for Ketu North, who previously held the position.

Additionally, Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng has been appointed Chairman of the Budget Committee.

 

Dr Mohammed Amin Adam and Dr Gideon Boako have also been appointed to lead the Minority bench on finance, a move expected to strengthen the opposition’s stance on economic and fiscal matters

Their leadership comes at a crucial time as the country navigates economic challenges, debt restructuring, and policy reforms.

The two economists bring significant expertise to the role, positioning the Minority to provide critical scrutiny of government financial policies.

Dr Amin Adam, a seasoned economist and former Minister for Finance, has extensive experience in public financial management and economic policy.

His background in governance and fiscal strategy makes him a key figure in the opposition’s economic team.

Having previously overseen crucial negotiations with international financial institutions, his leadership is expected to enhance the Minority’s engagement on key economic issues, including budget allocations, taxation, and public debt management.

Dr Gideon Boako, a financial economist, has significant experience from the academia and public policy background, and has also played a prominent role in shaping financial discourse in the country.

As a former adiver and spokesperson to former Vice president Bawumia on economic matters, he has been instrumental in analysing government policies and their implications for the broader economy.

His deep understanding of macroeconomic trends and fiscal sustainability will be vital in holding the government accountable and proposing alternative policy measures.

With these two leading the Minority’s finance team, debates on economic policies and fiscal governance are expected to become more rigorous.

Their combined expertise will be crucial in shaping discussions on national financial matters, ensuring greater oversight and accountability in the country’s economic management.
