Chairman of Parliament's Appointments Committee, Bernard Ahiafor, has alleged that Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin insulted Weija-Gbawe MP, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, during a heated vetting session on January 30, 2025.

According to him, Afenyo-Markin attacked Shaib causing tensions during the proceedings. "Afenyo-Markin called Jerry Shaib silly and told him he wasn't doing what he brought him to the vetting to do.

Any member of the committee who listened to them heard the insults," he said.

Speaking in an interview on TV3 on February 3, 2025, Ahiafor also addressed concerns over the Appointments Committee's decision to proceed with vetting President Mahama's ministerial nominees despite the Minority's boycott on January 31, 2025.
