The minority members on the appointment Committee has disrupted proceeding following disagreement over vetting time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tempers\u00a0 flared as the committee brought Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.<\/p>\n

The disagreement erupted when the Minority proposed rescheduling the vetting to Friday, citing concerns over the day\u2019s proceedings. However, Majority members rejected this suggestion, insisting that the vetting should continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n

The disagreement escalated into chaos, with Minority members disrupting the session by breaking tables and microphones in an effort to prevent any delay.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the Majority stood firm, arguing that the committee was following its established schedule and that the vetting should proceed without interruption.<\/p>\n

The situation prompted a heightened security presence in the conference room as tensions mounted. The Minority held firm in its stance, insisting 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.<\/p>\n

As the clash between the two factions continued, the committee\u2019s work came to a standstill, with both sides refusing to back down from their positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
