Vetting Ablakwa: 171 questions asked, 68% by Afenyo-Markin

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s vetting for the position of Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister was nothing short of a political marathon.

Over the course of six intense hours, members of the Appointments Committee put about 171 questions to the nominee—but one man led the charge: Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who alone fired 116 questions, accounting for nearly 68% of the total inquiries.

His vetting, which started at 12:33 PM and stretched until 6:33 PM, was among the most heated in recent vetting history.

While the Minority Leader left no stone unturned, the Majority side was noticeably less aggressive, contributing just 17 questions in total.

Below are key statistics from the vetting:
