Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has formally apologized to Gifty Jiagge-Gobah, the Clerk of the Appointments Committee, following his controversial remarks that led to chaos during the vetting of ministerial nominees.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on February 4, 2025, Mr Afenyo-Markin expressed regret for his comments, which accused Jiagge-Gobah of partisanship in favor of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
His remarks, made during a heated outburst captured live on television last week, had contributed to a brawl among committee members, forcing the suspension of proceedings.
