Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has strongly opposed calls to suspend the vetting of ministerial nominees following allegations of bribery against Parliament's Appointments Committee.
The legislator argued that halting the process would set a dangerous precedent and undermine government business.
The controversy stems from claims made by activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor, who alleged that members of the Appointments Committee demanded money from ministerial nominees in exchange for approval.
