Chairman of the Parliamentary ad-hoc committee, Emmanuel Bedzrah, has announced that public hearings on the vetting chaos at the Appointments Committee will resume on Friday, February 7, 2025.
This follows the abrupt suspension of proceedings on Wednesday, February 5, initially attributed to a directive from Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin.
However, it was later clarified that the decision came from the Clerk of Parliament without the Speaker’s knowledge.
Speaking on Joy FM on Thursday, February 6, the Ho West MP confirmed that Speaker Bagbin has now instructed the committee to proceed with its work.
“I need to meet with my committee members this morning. We agreed to have a meeting at 3 O’clock, by which time I would have received some information from the Speaker. So, for today, there won’t be any public hearings. We will continue tomorrow [Friday, February 7],” Mr. Bedzrah stated.
“The Speaker called and said, ‘No, we cannot stop this work. We should continue,’ and he has given direct instructions to the Clerk that we should proceed,” he added.
