Tensions flared once again in Parliament on Friday morning as a heated confrontation erupted between the Minority and Majority over the ongoing vetting process.
The latest dispute, which unfolded on January 31, saw the Minority accuse the Majority of acting in bad faith after proceedings began without their participation.
The disagreement further deepened the rift between the two sides, raising fresh concerns about the integrity of the vetting process.
Upon arriving at the session, the Minority claimed they had been misled, alleging that they were invited to a meeting to resolve concerns over the vetting process, only to later discover that the Majority had already commenced proceedings in their absence.
Their accusations triggered a chaotic scene, disrupting the already tense atmosphere. However, the Majority defended their actions, insisting they were simply fulfilling their constitutional duty.
They argued that the Minority’s absence did not affect the legitimacy of the vetting process and stressed that Parliament could not afford unnecessary delays.
The Minority, however, viewed the move as a betrayal of trust, further straining the already fragile relationship between the two factions.
Following the heated exchanges, leaders from both sides held a brief meeting before reconvening to proceed with the vetting of the Health Minister nominee, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh.
