Vetting chaos was embarrassing, shouldn't repeat itself -Binduri MP - Channel1 News

"It was quite bad and very embarrassing," he said.

He expressed concern for children watching the incident. "If you call yourself Honourable, this is unacceptable," he added.

He stressed the need for decorum in parliament. "I join many others in condemning this behavior," he stated. He believes such actions should not be encouraged in the future.

**Background**

On January 30, 2025, chaos erupted during a parliamentary session. The Minority resisted the vetting of Okudzeto Ablakwa and Kwabena Mintah Akandoh. This led to a physical clash between MPs, damaging tables and microphones.

After the incident, four MPs were suspended. The Minority then walked out of the session. This allowed the Majority to continue vetting Ablakwa and other nominees on January 31.

The clash occurred after Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin questioned Ablakwa extensively. Speaker Alban Bagbin formed a committee to investigate the events of January 30.

The committee will look into the disruption and equipment damage during the vetting process. It is chaired by Ho West MP Emmanuel Bedzrah and includes several other members.

The committee has a deadline of ten days to report its findings and recommendations. However, Minority members decided not to participate due to perceived bias from the chair.

To gather information, the committee created a WhatsApp platform for public input.
