A heated verbal exchange erupted between Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh, and the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle.

It occurred during a break in the Parliamentary Appointments Committee proceedings on Tuesday, January 28.

Although the exact trigger of the confrontation remains unclear, reports suggest it stemmed from a remark by Emeafa Hardcastle, who referred to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus as a 'Micro-Minority'.

The comment reportedly sparked tensions, leading to a back-and-forth between the two individuals.
