Parliament has made a significant leadership announcement within its committees, appointing heads to critical financial oversight roles. This move is aimed at strengthening transparency, accountability, and sound fiscal governance.
In a notable change, the MP for Atiwa East, Abena Osei-Asare, has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which plays a crucial role in scrutinizing government spending and ensuring the efficient use of public funds. She replaces James Avedzi, the former MP for Ketu North, who previously held the position.
Meanwhile, Isaac Adongo, the MP for Bolgatanga Central and a well-known voice on economic matters, has been named Chairman of the Finance Committee. His leadership is expected to shape discussions on the national budget, tax policies, and financial regulations, with a focus on promoting economic stability and growth.
Additionally, Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng has been appointed to head the Budget Committee, where his expertise will be instrumental in shaping budget planning and implementation to align with Ghana’s development goals.
These strategic appointments underscore Parliament’s renewed commitment to financial discipline, enhanced oversight, and responsible governance, ensuring that national resources are managed effectively for sustainable development.
