Bernard Ahaifor the Chairman of Appointment Committee of Parliament has detailed an incident involving Afenyo-Markin and Jerry Ahmed Shaib at the ministerial vetting.
According to Bernard Ahaifor, the Weija Gbawe MP Jerry Ahmed Shaib acted under Afenyo Markin’s instruction to disrupt the vetting process.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with JOY NEWS, Bernard Ahiafor revealed, “The minority leader played it smart and safe, I have heard him, asking them to do some of the things that they did, but when they were about to start he left the room, it was later that he came back to the room, so at the scene where they were dragging the table, and putting the chairs on the table he was at that material moment not in the room”.
“When he came he could not even move to my left side, he was behind me at my right side, but I know that Jerry was under his instruction to move to go and stop Akandoh from taking the seat to be sworn in”, he added.
Bernard Ahaifor further added, “He asked his side, to all put on their microphone, I heard him, saying they should call some people to come to the vetting room. If we want to go into this matter they may suffer a harsher punishment than the suspension”.
Meanwhile, Bernard Ahaifor in a separate interview revealed the minority leader told him he is under pressure from the NPP.
“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”, Bernard Ahaifor disclosed.
