The Minority side of the Appointments Committee has withdrawn from the vetting process of ministerial nominees expressing concerns over a previous decision by Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin that demanded the committee be reconstituted.
Referencing the Speaker's order, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin brought up the matter with Committee Chairman Bernard Ahiafor, which set off the boycott.
The decision came after four MPs were suspended for two weeks on Friday, January 31, 2024, for misbehavior during a tumultuous session.
Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli and Jerry Ahmed Shaib are among the suspended members, along with Frank Annoh-Dompreh and Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, the Majority and Minority Chief Whips.
