Chaos erupted at the Appointments Committee of Parliament when the Minority sought to halt the vetting of two nominees selected by President Akufo-Addo for the Supreme Court.
Justice Sophia Bernasko Essah and Professor Richard Frimpong Oppong were scheduled to appear before the Committee on August 13 to discuss their qualifications for the Supreme Court.
Before the vetting could commence, concerns about the constitutionality of the appointments were raised.
Mahama Ayariga, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, argued that the nominations were unconstitutional.
In response, the Majority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, addressed the concerns raised by the NDC MP.
He emphasised that the role of the Appointments Committee is solely to consider and vet the nominations made by the President.
