Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri Constituency, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, was caught on tape inciting chaos in Parliament by instructing his colleagues to forcefully end the vetting process on Thursday night.
In a viral video, the Minority Chief Whip Annoh-Dompreh was heard clearly ordering his colleague MPs to “muntutu cable nu nyinaa,” which translates to “unplug all the cables.”
This dramatic move aimed to force the Appointment Committee to close before the vetting of Health and Foreign Affairs ministers-designate.
The chaos unfolded as the Majority insisted on continuing the vetting session beyond 10 PM, while the Minority vehemently opposed the move.
The situation escalated, with tables and microphones being destroyed, prompting police intervention to restore order.
In the aftermath, Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, defended their stance, emphasizing the need to ask “necessary questions” during the vetting process.
He also accused the Majority of attempting to intimidate them, stating that the NDC is “always out to intimidate people” and “always bullying.”
Interestingly, this incident comes on the heels of Annoh Dompreh’s public disagreement with Victoria Emeafa Hardcastle, the acting CEO of the Petroleum Commission, who described him as a “silly MP.”
A heated exchange erupted between Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh and Victoria Emeafa Hardcastle during a break in the vetting of Defence Minister-designate Dr. Edward Omane Boamah on January 28, 2025.
While Annoh-Dompreh was walking out, Ms Emeafe Hardcastle allegedly made comments, including “You’re a micro-minority… I don’t have time for that. You think you can bully me here?”
Annoh-Dompreh later expressed outrage on the Parliament floor over the exchange and its implications.
Meanwhile, watch as chaos erupts at Parliament over vetting of Okudzeto Ablakwa and Mintah Akandoh
