The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has disclosed that some invitees attending the vetting proceedings of ministerial nominees were forced to sleep on the premises of Parliament after Thursday's chaotic incident at the Appointments Committee.
He explained that this situation arose due to the failure of the Appointments Committee to vet all the nominees scheduled for Thursday, January 30, as a result of the confusion that ensued.
Speaking on Wednesday, February 5, during his appearance before the committee investigating last week's chaos at the Appointments Committee, Mr Agbodza stated, "It was a very difficult situation.

"I saw some of them entering bathrooms or washrooms in the morning.
