The Chairman of the Ministerial Vetting Committee in Parliament, Benard Ahiafor, has suspended today\u2019s sitting following misunderstandings among Members of Parliament (MPs).<\/p>\n
The suspension was announced after a prolonged period of heated exchanges between the MPs, which disrupted the proceedings.<\/p>\n
“I suspend the sitting for five minutes,” Chairman Ahiafor declared, as tensions escalated in the room.<\/p>\n
The disagreement centred on the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who sought to raise urgent national issues during the ministerial vetting process.<\/p>\n
His intention was to use the session to highlight matters he considered critical to the country\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n
However, the Majority side strongly opposed Afenyo-Markin’s move, arguing that the vetting process was not the appropriate forum for such discussions.<\/p>\n
The Majority MPs insisted that the focus should remain on the vetting of the nominated ministers, rather than deviating into broader national concerns.<\/p>\n
The argument over this procedural issue resulted in over an hour of tension, with both sides remaining adamant in their positions.<\/p>\n
This deadlock prompted the Chairman to intervene and call for a brief suspension of the sitting to allow tempers to cool and the matter to be addressed.<\/p>\n
