Ransford Gyampo has shared his thoughts on the Minority's frustrations regarding the President's ministerial nominations and their inability to scrutinize the nominees effectively in an interview with 3News monitored by MyNewsGH.
The Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Centre for European Studies of the University of Ghana expressed disapproval of the approach, emphasizing that the chairperson holds the ultimate authority in committee proceedings. "If you don't allow me to control the process, then everything you say will be interpreted as you gagging me," Gyampo stated, highlighting how the Minority's frustration stems from feeling sidelined during the process.
Gyampo further addressed the need for balance in parliamentary dynamics. "The majority has overwhelming power, but that doesn't mean the minority should dominate," he noted, urging the Minority to recognize their role without pushing for "minority tyranny." He made it clear that the chairperson should be respected in their capacity to manage committee proceedings, adding that if anyone, including the Minority, could not tolerate the leadership of the committee, they should be prepared to walk away.
