A heated verbal exchange erupted between Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, and the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle, during a break in the Parliamentary Appointments Committee proceedings on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
The confrontation, which unfolded in the corridors of Parliament, reportedly stemmed from a comment by Hardcastle, who referred to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus as a "micro minority." Her remark sparked tensions, leading to a fiery back-and-forth between her and Annoh-Dompreh.
The incident took place as the committee deliberated over whether to suspend proceedings following bribery allegations made by activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor against its members.
During the brief recess, as members and guests exited the hall, the disagreement between Annoh-Dompreh and Hardcastle quickly drew attention.
