The Appointments Committee has issued a formal apology to Ghanaians following the chaotic scenes that unfolded during the vetting session on Thursday evening.
The session, which was meant to vet nominees Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, descended into disorder as members of the Minority and Majority Caucuses clashed.
Tensions flared when the Minority proposed rescheduling the vetting to Friday, citing concerns over the day’s proceedings. However, the Majority members rejected this suggestion, insisting that the vetting should continue as scheduled. The disagreement escalated, 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 situation prompted a heightened security presence in the conference room as tensions mounted.
In their apology, the Appointments Committee acknowledged the disruption and expressed regret for the incident. They assured the public that measures would be taken to prevent such occurrences in the future and to ensure that the vetting process remains orderly and respectful.
