Parliament gets new Clerk
Accra, June 3, GNA - Mr Emmanuel Anyimadu, 48, has been
appointed Clerk to the Parliament of Ghana.
The Speaker, Mr Ebenezer Sekyi Hughes, made the announcement
on the floor of the House on Tuesday.
Before his appointment, Mr Anyimadu held various positions
in the Parliamentary Service Board including, Deputy Clerk
to Parliament in charge of Parliamentary Relations, Protocol
and Public Affairs.
Mr Alban Bagbin, the Minority Leader, in congratulating him
pledged the support of the minority.
The Minority Leader, who touched on the Clerk's
capabilities, integrity, hard work and impartiality as a
public servant, said Mr Anyimadu, in all his previous
duties, had given no signal as to where he belonged
politically.
He said it was difficult to know whether the Clerk belonged
to the National Democratic Congress, New Patriotic Party or
the Convention Peoples Party throughout his work in
Parliament.
Mr Bagbin said the Clerk's new position was a testing ground
that needed courage to ensure that democracy and Ghana
became beneficiaries of his dedication to duty.
Mr Felix Owusu-Agyepong, the Minister of Parliamentary
Affairs, joined in congratulating the Clerk and urged
members, staff and the Speaker to assist the new chief
executive of the service to perform well by not "leading him
into temptation."
The Speaker also added his voice in congratulating the
Clerk.
Mr Anyimadu, who holds a Masters degree in Public
Administration, is a product of GIMPA and Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology.
He takes over from Mr Ken Tachie who has retired from the
service.
