Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has disclosed the caucus’s plans to push for a secret vote on two ministers-designate who are yet to appear before the Appointments Committee.
According to him, the Minority will ensure that procedural processes are followed before approval.
“We had three that we were going to vote on. One has eaten humble pie, now we have two that we are going to vote on. They have not been vetted,” he stated.
The Effutu MP disclosed this in an interview on Accra-based Channel One TV but did not state who the nominees are.
“I have relayed his engagement to the external stakeholders of the party. If he agrees to be a true gentleman, to acknowledge that he acted badly in terms of his posture, his public conduct, and his attacks on us—and he agrees that what he did was unbecoming of a decent politician—per the terms of the discussion this evening, if he is ready to do what he has promised to do, we will go by consensus,” Afenyo-Markin noted.
For the second nominee, Mr. Afenyo-Markin indicated that their engagement had been less forthcoming.
“The other one met me, was being dodgy, trying to rationalize. We are watching,” he added.
