Currently, there is chaos in the Parliament of Ghana over the vetting of Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

The Appointments Committee had agreed on vetting four nominees on January 30, 2025.

However, five have been vetted, and two more are being added, including the minister-designate for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and the minister-designate for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, which has generated the chaos.

As a result of the chaos between the Majority and Minority, microphones and tables have been destroyed.

The Minority side was seen overturning the vetting table.

“We agreed on four; we have done five. Kofi Adams was not part of the process, but we have done it. It will not happen,” Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyire, who doubles as Minority Chief Whip, said in an interview.
