Foreign Affairs Minister, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has claimed he was the primary target of the disruptions during the vetting of ministerial nominees. Ablakwa alleges the heckling and chaos were deliberately orchestrated to disrupt his questioning and intimidate him.
Hon. Ablakwa, a member of the Minority Caucus, is known for his outspoken criticism of government policies and his tough line of questioning during vetting sessions.
The vetting process has been clouded by controversy, with both the Majority and Minority caucuses exchanging blame.
Mr. Ablakwa’s assertion that he was singled out suggests the disorder was not merely random, but a targeted effort to silence him.
His remarks have reignited discussions about the behavior of MPs in Parliament, with some condemning the chaos and intimidation, while others defend the Majority Caucus, arguing that Ablakwa’s questioning was too aggressive.
