Chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, Bernard Ahiafor has disclosed that the presence of Chiefs, former Greater Accra Regional Ministers influenced Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo's short vetting.

Ocloo's vetting, which lasted less than 10 minutes, raised eyebrows as no questions were posed by committee members-an unusual occurrence in the parliamentary vetting process.

The brief and unchallenged nature of her approval sparked public debate and speculation over the rationale behind such leniency.

However, in an exclusive interview with TV3's Alfred Ocansey on Monday, Bernard Ahiafor revealed that the presence of some former Greater Accra Regional Ministers and chiefs influenced the vetting process.
