A heated dispute erupted during an Appointments Committee session as Minority and Majority Caucus members clashed over the vetting of Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The disagreement began when the Minority proposed rescheduling the vetting to Friday, citing concerns over the day’s proceedings.
However, the Majority rejected this suggestion, insisting that the vetting should continue as scheduled.
The situation quickly escalated into chaos, with Minority members disrupting the session by breaking tables and microphones in an effort to prevent any delay.
Despite the chaos, the Majority stood firm, arguing that the committee was following its established schedule and that the vetting should proceed without interruption. The heightened tensions prompted an increased security presence in the conference room.
The Minority maintained 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.
As the standoff between the two factions continued, the committee’s work came to a standstill, with both sides refusing to back down from their positions.
