A member of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has jumped to the defence of the Chairman of the Committee, Bernard Ahiafor, following accusations of bias and partisanship.
Minority members on the Committee have accused the Chairman of protecting the three nominees who appeared before the Committee on Monday, January 13.
The Minority also accused the Chairman of preventing the President’s nominees from answering some critical questions.
But the Member of Parliament for North Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor says the Chairman has steered the affairs of the Committee well.
“They have had the opportunity to do what they ought to do. But they flapped it and allowed their Minority Leader to have a field day to ask frivolous questions for nearly three hours and everybody saw it.
“So to come back and complain that you were not given the opportunity to ask relevant questions is neither here nor there. If you were given the opportunity and you decided to major in the minors, that is your problem.”
