Tensions are mounting in Parliament as the approval process for ministerial nominees becomes increasingly contentious. The Minority has vowed to resist any attempts to force through nominees without proper scrutiny, despite what they describe as intimidation tactics.

Speaking at a press conference today at Parliament, Afenyo-Markin insisted that the Minority would not back down. With both sides bracing for a heated battle in the approval process.

According to Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, members of the opposition were subjected to deliberate efforts to pressure them into submission.

He alleged that security within Parliament’s precincts had broken down, citing an incident the previous night at the committee room.

"We are also beginning to observe a breakdown of security, law, and order within the precincts of Parliament, especially last night at the committee room, by some NDC thugs. These thugs were hired, organized, and brought in to come and intimidate the Minority. But let me tell you, NDC, we are few, but a mighty few," he declared.

Beyond security concerns, Afenyo-Markin accused the Majority of attempting to push through nominees without proper vetting. He argued that the ruling party had reduced the process to a mere formality, undermining parliamentary scrutiny.

"We are beginning to observe attempts by the Majority to force through some nominees and railroad them through a rubber-stamp process," he stated.
