A Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, has said that the chaos that erupted during Parliament's appointments committee sitting on Thursday, January 30 was either the perfect picture of the resilience of Ghana's democracy or a dramatic illustration of the inability to secure an elite consensus on matters of political significance.
During proceedings, the Minority and Majority members clashed over the timing of the vetting process.
The opposition lawmakers had made the point that the vetting of Health Minister-designate Kwabena Akandoh and Foreign Affairs Minister-designate Okudzeto Ablakwa should be shifted forward to today, Friday, January 31.
However, the Majority MPs, resisted and insisted that the process continue tonight, leading to further tension in the chamber.
