The Member of Parliament of Suame, John Darko, has hinted at plans by the Minority Caucus to abstain from the approval process of eight ministerial nominees who were vetted by the Appointments Committee, despite the Minority's walkout.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, Darko, who is also a lawyer, said that the Majority's decision to proceed with the vetting, following Speaker of Parliament, 's order to suspend four committee members, was in conflict with the law.
According to him, the absence and non-participation of the Minority in the vetting process raised concerns that the vetting of the eight appointees might be considered null and void, adding that his side will strongly resist any attempts by the Majority to approve them. "That vetting that went on after his [Bagbin's] order to reconstitute the Appointments Committee violated the speaker's orders.
They haven't been vetted, so, we are not going to be part of any process to approve them.
