0 Chairman of the Ad-hoc committee probing the vetting chaos, Emmauel Bedrah has cautioned the Minority Members of Parliament that the committee will invoke the constitutional provision or the standing orders of Parliament if they don’t come to testify on Monday, February 10, 2025.
The minority MPs have boycotted the committee’s hearing, insisting that the hearing should be made in-camera and not a public one.
Speaking to journalists after the second day of hearing on Friday, the Ho West MP and Chairman of the Committee noted that he is yet to identify the reasons why the Minority MPs have failed to honour the Committee’s invite to testify despite the Speaker’s directive for investigations to proceed.
“We are waiting for them to testify. I’m not bias, we all see what we’ve done here and so I’m surprise that they say I’m bias. We’re waiting for them to testify on Monday, if they are not here on Monday, we will invoke the constitutional provision as well as the standing orders,” he said.
The Ho West MP dismissed claims by the Minority Caucus that he’s being prejudicial and bias in his work.
“I am surprise because he was here with us on the first day so I don’t know where the accusation of bias is coming from so maybe he has to identify where I was bias,” he added.
He further revealed that Atiwa East MP and a minority member on the committee, Abena Osei-Asare was present at the Committee’s meeting on Thursday, February 6, 2025, hence he’s surprised that the Minority MPs still did not appear to testify before the Committee.
He noted that the Committee will proceed with its hearing until the Speaker says otherwise.
