A chaotic scene that erupted during the Appointments Committee\u2019s vetting session on Thursday evening has forced a change in venue as tables and microphones were destroyed.<\/p>\n

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga, addressing the disorder, made a passionate plea for calm while announcing a change in venue for the continuation of the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana has one of the most beautiful and functioning democracies. The Ghanaian Parliament remains the envy of many parliaments,\u201d he said, emphasising the country\u2019s democratic reputation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

He urged all parties to exercise restraint, warning that the events unfolding could tarnish Ghana\u2019s global image.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had an election that was so beautiful\u2014the losing side conceded, and the whole world saw it. Let us not destroy that enviable image we have carved for ourselves.\u201dThe Majority Leader detailed the extent of the destruction that made it impossible to proceed with the vetting.\u201cWe would have continued, but logistically, it is no longer possible. The microphones have all been destroyed, and you know that with the microphones gone, it will be difficult for the media to carry the proceedings live on their various stations,\u201d he explained<\/p>\n

\u201cThey may carry the images, but they cannot carry the voice. And vetting is about assessing and evaluating the knowledge of the nominees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

According to the Bawku Central MP, the technical staff had already closed for the day, and even if they were present, the damaged equipment could not be easily replaced that night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe destruction of some of the machines here cannot be easily fixed tonight. So for that reason, it is practically impossible to continue with the remaining nominees,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Before concluding, the Majority Leader cautioned all members to remain mindful of the time constraints and the expectations of their supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us have supporters out there, and we all need to satisfy them. When we are vetting, let\u2019s make good use of the time allocated to us so that we can be efficient,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to vet as many people as possible so that we can have the ministers at the various ministries functioning and delivering on the commitments that Ghanaians endorsed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
