Former Majority Chief Whip Governs Kwame Agbodza appearing before the Ad Hoc Committee investigating the chaos that occurred during last week Thursday, January 30, 2025 disclosed that some guests of nominees who could not be vetted had to sleep in Parliament.
According to him as someone in the immediate past leadership, there should have been agreement to vet nominees who were not vetted on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, because Oliver Vormawor was taken on that day when he had alleged that nominees were giving bribes to the Committee.
“In the case of Kwabena Minta Akandoh it came to light that he had brought chiefs all the way from Juabuso who could not go back, he stated.
Governs Agbodza revealed that some nominees had as many as one hundred chief and could not accommodate them in a hotel and had to beg colleagues to allow their visitors sleep in their offices because it was late and the nominees had to be vetted the following day.
As to whether the marshal and the police gave quick response to the chaos, the Road Minister said they responded in a timely manner but because they were dealing with members of parliament they were hesitant in their actions.
