Proceedings were temporarily suspended during the vetting of Chief Justice nominee Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, following misunderstandings among Members of Parliament (MPs).
The vetting session began around 11:45 a.m., but was delayed after a heated exchange between the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, and Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The disagreement arose when Afenyo-Markin referred to the nominee as a “disputed nominee,” accusing the Majority caucus of acting in bad faith during the vetting process. Ayariga objected, describing the remark as inappropriate and politically charged.
In response, Afenyo-Markin insisted that the Minority was exercising its right to hold Parliament accountable, arguing that expressing reservations about the nomination was legitimate and necessary, especially given concerns about political motivations behind the process.
The suspension allowed tempers to cool before proceedings resumed.
