Minister-designate for Finance, Ken Ofori Atta, Minister Designate for Attorney General and Ministry of Justice Godfred Dame and Nominee for the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu are scheduled to appear before the committee today.

Mr Ofori-Atta is likely to be asked questions about the controversial Agyapa deal.

One question that many will be looking out for is why Databank pulled out of Agyapa deal as transaction advisors.

Databank explained in the letter that they arrived at this decision following attacks on its reputation by political actors due to the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta’s association with Databank, a company he co-founded.
