It was a smooth sail for President John Mahama's nominees who followed the vetting of Foreign Affairs Minister-nominee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa's session.

This was after the North Tongu legislator's appearance before the Appointments Committee on Friday saw a dramatic end as a disagreement led to a walkout by the Minority.

The absence of opposition members significantly accelerated the process, allowing the remaining nominees to be vetted in record time.

The controversy erupted when Ranking Member Alexander Afenyo-Markin objected to the Speaker of Parliament's decision to reconstitute the Appointments Committee.
