Ayariga also expressed confidence that the Appointments Committee will proceed without further disruptions. “I believe your Appointments Committee will function in a better atmosphere,” he added.
On his part, the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin also reiterated the pledge on behalf of the minority to be of good conduct.
Background
Last week, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, suspended four Members of Parliament (MPs) for two weeks following a chaotic incident that occurred during a sitting of the Appointments Committee.
The suspended MPs included the two chief Whips for both the Minority and Majority caucuses, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor and Frank Annoh-Dompreh, as well as Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli and Jerry Ahmed Shaib.
Meanwhile, the Speaker has also set up a Committee to probe the incident. He says the probe will go ahead despite the lifting of the suspension.
