Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin of parliament has stated Ghanaians should not expect the minority to vet arrogant and disrespectful nominees before the Appointments Committee for just five minutes.
According to Afenyo Markin, it all depends on the nominee before the Appointments Committee and how they conduct themselves.
His comments come after Sam George the minister-designate for communication spent several hours at the vetting committee yesterday.
Speaking to the media, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin detailed, “This morning, the nominee for the Ministry of Health spent only 30 minutes, so the nominees themselves should know that they are now coming into public office their conduct, and humility, their conduct will help matters if you have a nominee who is so arrogant so partisan, so disrespectful, so deceptive, so dishonest you don’t expect us to spend 5 minutes.
Those who come, and prepare well, know their brief and show us respect we also reciprocate, not those who will be coming and be insulting and abusing the Chief Justice of the Republic the former president of the land and you expect us to clap for them and take tea with them we will not”, he stated.
Afenyo Markin further revealed they the minority respect the chair of the appointment committee.
“I am therefore cautioning the chair of the committee not to yield to those extremists who are pushing him to assert his authority because he is weak, the chair of the committee must know we respect them”, he reiterated.
