The Minority in Parliament has formally requested the removal of Emmanuel Bedzrah as Chairman of the Ad-Hoc Committee investigating recent disruptions during a sitting of the Appointments Committee.

In a memorandum to the Speaker of Parliament dated 10th February 2025, the Minority expressed concerns about Emmanuel Bedzrah’s continued chairmanship, citing issues of bias and impartiality.

The memorandum stated, “The Minority Caucus considers it prudent to await the Speaker’s response before participating in the Committee’s work.”

It emphasised that this move should not be seen as a reluctance to engage with the Committee but as a necessary measure to ensure fairness and credibility in the proceedings.
