Asiedu Nketia’s appointment was made known by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin who read a report by a special advisory committee on the floor of Parliament on March 29, 2021. The committee in its report as quoted by the state-owned Daily Graphic was concerned with the appointment of Asiedu Nketia as he is an executive of a political party. "Notwithstanding, Mr Speaker is the person clothed with the authority to appoint the other four persons who, together with the Clerk-to-Parliament, constitute the Parliamentary Service Board. It is also our considered opinion that Mr Speaker will do what is appropriate,” he read from the letter. Bagbin, however, assured the committee and Parliament that the appointment of Asiedu Nketia does not amount to an intrusion of the house.
