The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has constituted a seven-member special committee to investigate the violent altercation that erupted during the Appointments Committee sitting last Thursday.
The committee has been given 10 days to submit its findings and recommendations.
In addition to the parliamentary probe, the Speaker has directed the Clerk to Parliament to formally lodge a complaint with the Ghana Police Service to conduct a full criminal investigation into the destruction caused during the confrontation.
He made it clear that MPs found responsible for any damage to parliamentary property would be surcharged for the cost of repairs, with deductions made from their salaries if necessary.
