The Special Adhoc Committee investigating last week’s chaos at the Appointments Committee began its public hearings today, Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
It will be recalled that on Thursday, January 30, 2025, chaos erupted during the vetting of ministerial nominees. According to reports, the confusion began when the minority opposed the vetting of more than five nominees that day.
The verbal confrontation between the legislators escalated into the destruction of tables, chairs, and microphones in the vetting room.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, later condemned the incident and suspended four MPs involved in the chaos. But the suspensions were lifted after both the majority and minority leaders appealed to the Speaker to reinstate them.
The probe into the vetting chaos, led by the MP for Ho West, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, aims to collect evidence through thorough investigations and present a report to the Speaker for further action.
