The Committee of Selection of Ghana’s Parliament has completed the re-composition of key parliamentary committees, including the Committee of Selection, the Appointments Committee, and the Business Committee.

 This move was made in accordance with Order 205 (3) of the Standing Orders of the House.

In addition to these committees, the Committee also determined the composition of sixteen (16) Standing Committees, twenty-four (24) Select Committees, and a Special Committee of Parliament.

This reconstitution was guided by parliamentary rules, including Orders 205 to 211 of the Standing Orders, as well as Article 103 of the 1992 Constitution.

The Committee’s decisions were influenced by the existing composition of the Majority and Minority Caucuses, ensuring that committee representation reflects the political distribution in Parliament.

Additionally, Article 103 (5) of the Constitution and Order 209 of the Standing Orders, which emphasize proportional representation, played a role in the decision-making process.

Among the key observations made by the Committee were:

– Some members of the Appointments and Business Committees had been appointed as Ministers of State.

– The Majority Caucus had adjusted its leadership structure due to ministerial appointments.

– Certain members held positions in multiple committees by virtue of their office, including the Majority Leader, Deputy Majority Leader, and Chief Whip.

– The composition of the Ninth Parliament includes 183 members from the Majority (NDC) Caucus, 88 from the Minority (NPP) Caucus, and 4 Independent Members.

– The Independent Members have expressed their intention to collaborate with the Majority Caucus, resulting in a 187:88 ratio for Majority and Minority representation.

– Committee chairpersons were appointed based on the numerical strength of each party in Parliament, per Order 210 (1) and (2).

Following careful deliberation, the Committee officially reconstituted the three main committees and composed the membership of the remaining Standing and Select Committees.

The full list of members has been attached for parliamentary approval.

The Committee has recommended that Parliament adopt its report, which was submitted by Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin and Deputy Clerk Camillo Pwamang.

This development marks a significant step in ensuring the effective functioning of parliamentary committees, which play a crucial role in governance, legislation, and oversight.

Below is the full list:
