Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accused the Clerk of the Appointments Committee of Parliament of being a ‘typical National Democratic Congress’ member.
Speaking to journalists after the chaotic scenes in Parliament on Thursday, January 30, 2025, he directly accused the Clerk, Gifty Jiagge-Gobah, of favouring the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This was in reaction to disagreements between the two sides of the House, particularly the Appointments Committee.
The MPs engaged in physical confrontations and destroyed the microphones and other items in the vetting room.
This is in disagreement over the vetting of Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
“The nominees—where we have to ask them questions, we do. Nothing will stop us from asking the necessary questions. It’s not every nominee; some of their nominees spent five minutes. NDC is always up to intimidating people. They think that they must always bully.
“We will not accept any bullying. They can call us a micro-minority; they can say whatever they want to say. We have been cooperating with them. The clerk to the committee is a partisan clerk. She’s a typical NDC member; she agrees with them, and she advertises and informs people to come. January 29, there was no agreement, no meeting, 10 pm she advertises,” he claimed.
