Emmanuel Bedzrah, Chairman of the committee investigating the disruptions during the vetting of ministerial nominees, has reassured the public that the inquiry is not aimed at unfairly targeting any Member of Parliament.
At a press conference on February 3, 2025, alongside fellow committee members, the Ho West MP emphasized the committee’s commitment to conducting a transparent and impartial investigation.
Mr. Bedzrah called on all stakeholders—MPs, the media, and attendees of the vetting session—to come forward with information that could help restore order and foster collaboration within Parliament.
“The committee would like to place on record that it is not part of its job to target or witch-hunt anyone. We’re not here to witch-hunt any of our colleagues or Members of Parliament. This work is to look for evidence of any Member of Parliament who may have flouted the rules of engagement in this house.”
The seven-member committee was established by Speaker Alban Bagbin on January 31, 2025, following violent confrontations during the vetting on Thursday, January 30. Its mandate is to identify those responsible and recommend appropriate sanctions.
