Effutu MP and Ranking Member Alexander Afenyo-Markin questioned the absence of a Cabinet Secretary, sparking a response from Bawku Central MP Mahama Ayariga. Ayariga suggested that Afenyo-Markin raise his concerns through other channels, emphasizing that the committee’s focus should remain on vetting ministerial nominees.
This prompted an objection from Minority Chief Whip and Nsawam Adoagyiri MP, Francis Annoh-Dompreh, who took issue with Ayariga’s remarks.
