Bernard Ahaifor the Chairman of Appointment Committee of parliament has detailed an incident involving Afenyo-Markin and Jerry Shaib at the ministerial vetting.
According to Bernard Ahaifor, the minority called the Weija Gbawe MP Jerry Shaib and that he was not doing what he told him.
Speaking in exclusive interview with TV3, Bernard Ahiafor revealed, “Afenyo Markin called Jerry Shaib silly and told him he wasn’t doing what he brought him to the vetting to do. Any member of the committte who listened to them heard the insults”.
“I don’t know what has changed, I was highly surprised, so I was even asking the minority leader, you previously spoke to me that Kwabena Mintah Akandoh can be taken and that he personally reach out to you that he wants to be taken that evening, based on the fact that he has brought people, for Joaboso to Accra, so he pleaded”, he added.
The Chairman of Parliament’s Appointment Committee added, the minority leader told him he is under pressure from the NPP.
Bernard Ahaifor added, “I can tell you his answer, that he is under pressure from the his party, probably maybe actually the speed we are going, probably his party… that is what I can deduced his party is not comfortable with it, I wouldn’t know why he would be under pressure.
I can even swear oath to repeat this statement, I can swear an oath I had that understanding with him regarding Akandoh and many occasion he said my brother I am under pressure ooo, on Jerry Ahmed I can swear an oath”, he boldly reiterated.
Meanwhile, Jerry Ahmad Shaib was captured as one of the MPs to have started the ‘violence’ in parliament when he tried to turn over the tables used during the vetting procedures.
