Appointments Committee Apologises for Chaos During Vetting Session


The Appointments Committee has issued a formal apology to Ghanaians following the chaotic scenes that erupted during Thursday evening’s vetting session.
The session, which was set to vet nominees Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, quickly spiraled into disorder as members of the Minority and Majority Caucuses clashed.
Tensions escalated when the Minority proposed rescheduling the vetting to Friday, citing concerns over the day’s proceedings. However, the Majority strongly opposed the suggestion, insisting that the vetting should continue as planned. The standoff intensified, with some Minority members resorting to breaking tables and microphones in a bid to disrupt the process.
Despite the commotion, the Majority maintained that the committee was adhering to its established schedule and that the vetting should proceed without further delays. The heated exchange led to an increased security presence in the conference room to restore order.
In their apology, the Appointments Committee expressed regret over the incident and assured the public that steps would be taken to prevent such disruptions in the future. They reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring that the vetting process remains transparent, orderly, and respectful.
The committee also called for cooperation from all members to uphold the integrity of parliamentary proceedings and maintain public trust in the process.
