Chairman of Parliament's Appointments Committee, Bernard Ahiafor, has called on Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to apologize to the Clerk of the Committee, describing his actions as "unfortunate, uncalled for, and unbecoming of a Member of Parliament." Speaking on the recent tensions surrounding the vetting process, Ahiafor defended the Clerk, insisting that she acted impartially during proceedings. "The Clerk wasn't partisan.
What he (Afenyo-Markin) did to the Clerk is unfortunate, uncalled for, and unbecoming of a Member of Parliament.
I expect him (Afenyo-Markin) to apologize to the Clerk of the Committee rather than going around defending his character." Ahiafor further suggested that the Minority's frustrations stem from their 2024 election defeat, which continues to influence their actions in Parliament. "It's rather unfortunate that the Minority side are still bleeding from the election defeat.
I apologize to the Clerk on behalf of the Committee," he stated in an interview with TV3 on Monday, February 3, 2025.
