Ghana’s Parliament has officially announced the leadership of its various committees following a recent shake-up. The Speaker, Alban Bagbin, confirmed the appointments during a parliamentary sitting. These committee leaders play crucial roles in shaping legislation and overseeing governmental activities.

The committees cover key areas including finance, health, education, and trade. Notably, the Finance Committee will be chaired by Kwaku Agyemang-Manu from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), while the Health Committee will be led by Dr. Okoe Boye. The Education Committee is headed by Peter Nortsu-Kotoe from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Other significant appointments include Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa leading the Foreign Affairs Committee and Kwasi Amoako-Attah chairing Works and Housing. The Environment, Science and Technology Committee will be under the guidance of Dr. Dominic Aduna Bingab Nitiwul.

The full list reflects a balance between major political parties and includes several MPs with prior experience in leadership roles within these committees. Each committee is tasked with scrutinizing government policies and expenditures within their respective sectors while ensuring accountability.

This reorganization follows extensive discussions among party members to ensure effective governance as Ghana navigates various socio-economic challenges. The newly appointed leaders are expected to collaborate closely with government officials to enhance transparency and foster development across all sectors.

As Parliament reconvenes for its next session, stakeholders anticipate that these appointed leaders will drive critical legislative processes and engage meaningfully with citizens' concerns within their jurisdictions.

Overall, this restructuring aims to bolster parliamentary effectiveness as Ghana moves forward in addressing both current issues and long-term goals through efficient legislative practices.
