Tensions escalated among vetting committee members yesterday, January 30 as members of the Minority and Majority Caucuses clashed over the decision to vet Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The disagreement erupted when the Minority proposed rescheduling the vetting to Friday, citing concerns over the day’s proceedings. However, the majority of members rejected this suggestion, insisting that the vetting should continue as scheduled.
The disagreement escalated into chaos, with Minority members disrupting the session by breaking tables and microphones to prevent any delay.
Despite this, the Majority stood firm, arguing that the committee was following its established schedule and that the vetting should proceed without interruption.
The Minority held firm in its stance, insisting that no further nominees should be vetted, pointing out that an agreement had been made to vet just four nominees and adjourn for the day.
The vetting is scheduled to continue today January 31, 2025.
