Minority Leader and Ranking Member of Parliament's Appointments Committee, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has revealed that government representatives personally appealed to the Minority to refrain from questioning Greater Accra Regional Minister-nominee, Linda Akweley Ocloo, during her 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.
