The vetting of Deputy Minister-Designate for Attorney General and Justice, Justice Srem-Sai, was unexpectedly cut short following a tense standoff between the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Bernard Ahiafor, and Ranking Member, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The disagreement began when Afenyo-Markin asked the nominee to demonstrate a specific dance, arguing that cultural appreciation was an essential aspect of the process. "We are here to learn about our country.
It is also about our culture," he remarked.
However, the Chairman found the request inappropriate and swiftly overruled it, prompting resistance from Afenyo-Markin, who accused him of being "whimsical and capricious" in his decision-making.
