The Minority has noted that it will oppose every form of intimidation that will be directed at the Caucus despite its few representations in Parliament.
Addressing the Press on Friday, the leader of the Caucus, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, indicated that the Majority in the House is going all lengths in order to bully and make them less vibrant.
Afenyo-Markin pointed fingers at the Members of Parliament (MP) for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for instigating the chaos that occurred on Thursday, January 30, during the vetting session.
"We are also beginning to observe a breakdown of security, law and order within the preset of Parliament and especially last night at the Committee room by some NDC thugs. These were hired, organized and brought in to come and intimidate the minority. But let me tell the NDC we are few but we are a mighty few. We are fair in our conviction, we are determined and we shall never surrender to their intimidation," he said.
The Appointments Committee’s session descended into chaos on Thursday evening when tensions between the Minority and Majority escalated into a physical confrontation.
The dispute arose after the Majority insisted on proceeding with the vetting session beyond 10 PM, a move the Minority vehemently opposed.
In the midst of the altercation, members of the Minority began dismantling arranged tables, causing several microphones to fall and break.
The situation spiraled out of control, forcing police intervention to restore calm and prevent further damage to parliamentary property.After about 30 minutes of disorder, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga and other leaders intervened to de-escalate tensions. With damaged equipment making further deliberations impossible, the committee was compelled to adjourn and reschedule the session for the following day.
