Footage from Parliament indicates that the damage caused yesterday has been fixed.
Reports indicate that today’s vetting will take place at the same venue where the vetting has been taking place.
This means that the vetting will no longer take place in the speaker’s conference room.
Also, this will mean that nominees will be able to come for their vetting with their Chiefs, family, and sympathizers.
Background
Chaos erupted in Parliament after the minority in Parliament decided to end the day after vetting the transport minister.
To them, the vetting of Okudzeto Ablakwa and Kwabena Mintah Akandoh should be postponed to January 31 because they are tired.
However, the majority insisted that they would continue with the vetting.
The minority, who were not happy with the decision, started mounting their chairs on the table in the hall where the vetting was taking place.
Infuriated by that, the majority fought back. The fight led to the destruction of microphones, among others.
It took the intervention of the majority leader, Mahama Ayariga, to calm tempers, after which he addressed the media, saying “It is clear from the level of destruction that the vetting cannot continue. All the microphones have been destroyed. That will make it impossible for the media to carry what the nominees say to Ghanaians. Vetting is about assessing the competence of the nominees. The vetting will therefore have to be postponed to tomorrow. We will get a new venue for the vetting,” he stated.
