Member of Parliament for Bodi, Sampson Ahi, has accused the Minority of deliberately disrupting proceedings during the chaotic vetting session on Thursday, January 30, 2025.
Appearing before the committee probing the incident on February 10, 2025, Mr. Ahi claimed the Minority’s actions were not intended as a walkout but rather as an attempt to obstruct government business.
“It seems to me that this Minority group does not want to stage a walkout. Instead, they ensure the place becomes ungovernable and that nothing can proceed,” he stated.
He argued that there was no immediate solution to such behavior, suggesting that security intervention would have been the only option.
“I don’t think anyone can prescribe an antidote for this type of attitude. The best thing would have been for them to walk out, but they wouldn’t. Instead, they made sure others couldn’t work either. Unless security steps in—which I wouldn’t recommend.”
Mr. Ahi called for clear guidelines to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
“I believe Parliament should sit down and develop strategies and modalities for handling such situations going forward,” he proposed.
He also noted that the security personnel present were unprepared for the intensity of the Minority’s actions, making it difficult to restore order.
