The Minority in parliament has presented a petition to the Rt. Hon Speaker Alban Kingsford Bagbin on concerns over the Chairman of the Ad Hoc committee Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah’s task to investigate the chaos that erupted during the vetting of Ministers designate.
According to the Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, they had earlier written to raise concerns about the Chairman being bias and were waiting the response of the Speaker who is outside the jurisdiction.
“We the Minority caucus consider it prudent to wait the Speaker’s response before taking any further steps in relation to the Committee’s work”.
The Minority has copied the Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga in same letter copied to the Speaker Rt. Hon Alban Bagbin.
He further pointed out that this should not be misconstrued as unwillingness on the part of the Minority to engage with the Committee, but rather it’s a necessary step to ensure that due process is followed, and the process remains fair, impartial and credible.
Mr Afenyo-Markin further noted that they hope the Speaker will address their concerns in a manner that will uphold the integrity of the Committee’s work and the broader interest of Parliament.
