Tensions flared during the vetting of Supreme Court Justice nominee Hafisata Amaleboba as Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin engaged in a heated exchange with Appointments Committee Chairman Bernard Ahiafor over questions on presidential sanctions.
The confrontation erupted after Mr Afenyo-Markin pressed Justice Amaleboba on whether President John Mahama's financial penalties against ministers who failed to declare assets encroached on the constitutional mandate of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
The nominee had earlier stated she saw "no usurpation" in the President's actions, arguing that administrative fines did not conflict with CHRAJ's role.
