Ghana’s Parliament Appoints Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror As New Clerk

The Parliamentary Service Board has appointed Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror as the new Clerk of Parliament.

This emerged at the extraordinary meeting of the Parliamentary Service Board in November 2024 at which three deputy clerks were interviewed for the position of Clerk to Parliament

This follows the impending retirement of the current Clerk to Parliament, Cyril Kwabena Oteng Nsiah, who will reach the compulsory retirement age of sixty (60) years on February 2, 2025.

Djietror, an experienced lawyer and one of the longest-serving procedural clerks, has a distinguished career in parliamentary service.

He has served as the Clerk at the Table of the House and has been the clerk to various committees, including the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, the Business Committee, the Committee on Judiciary, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The Rt. Hon. Speaker of the Eighth Parliament and Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Board, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has already issued an appointment letter to Djietror, enabling him to commence work from January 1, 2025. Consequently, Nsiah has been directed to proceed on his due annual leave on December 31, 2024.

Djietror is expected to conduct the swearing-in of newly elected Members of Parliament and the Speaker on January 7, 2025.

Touted as the most experienced procedural clerk and the longest-serving clerk at the Table, he is anticipated to conduct proceedings without any difficulty.

The Rt. Hon. Speaker is expected to formally announce the appointment of the new Clerk to Honourable Members of Parliament before the House rises sine die for the Christmas holidays.
