Ebenezer Ahumah Djietor Appointed as New Clerk of Parliament

The Parliament of Ghana has appointed a new Clerk, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietor. This appointment follows a meeting of the Parliamentary Service Board in November 2024.

Djietor's appointment is a significant development in the Parliament of Ghana. He will be taking over from the incumbent Clerk, Cyril Kwabena Oteng Nsiah, who is set to retire on February 2, 2025.

As the new Clerk, Djietor will play a crucial role in the administration of Parliament. He will be responsible for advising the Speaker and Members on matters of privilege, practice, and procedure.

Djietor's experience as a lawyer and his long service as a procedural clerk make him well-suited for the role. He has previously served as clerk to various committees of Parliament, including the Committee on Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs.

The appointment of Djietor as the new Clerk of Parliament is expected to bring stability and continuity to the administration of Parliament. His experience and expertise will be invaluable in ensuring the smooth operation of Parliament.

Djietor's first major task will be to conduct the swearing-in of newly elected members of Parliament and the Speaker on January 7, 2025. This will be a significant moment in the history of Ghana's Parliament.

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has already issued an appointment letter to Djietor, confirming his appointment as the new Clerk of Parliament. This letter will enable Djietor to commence work on January 1, 2025.

The appointment of Djietor as the new Clerk of Parliament is a positive development for Ghana's democracy. His experience and expertise will help to ensure the effective administration of Parliament, and his commitment to public service will be an asset to the institution.
