This comes after chaos disruption by minority and majority members during the vetting session on Thursday, January 30.
βThis move is aimed at restoring trust and ensuring that the Committee operates effectively and without bias,β Bagbin said.
Bagbin has also constituted a seven-member committee chaired by Emmanuel Bedzrah to probe the incident and present its report within 10 days.
He has further suspended some four MPs involved in the chaos.
Alban Bagbin has also directed the Clerk of Parliament to formally lodge a criminal complaint with the police to facilitate a full investigation into the incident.
The Clerk of Parliament has also been tasked with assessing damage caused to properties in the Appointments Committee room, with members found culpable set to be surcharged for repairs.
1. Suspension of MPs Involved: The two-week suspension is intended to serve as a disciplinary action against those directly involved in the altercations. The suspended members are barred from participating in parliamentary sittings and activities during this period.
2. Criminal Complaint to the Police: The Clerk of Parliament has been directed to formally lodge a criminal complaint with the police. This will pave the way for a full investigation into the incidents, ensuring that those found culpable face legal consequences.
3. Reconstitution of the Appointments Committee: The Committee of Selection has been instructed to reconstitute the Appointments Committee. This move is aimed at restoring trust and ensuring that the Committee operates effectively and without bias.
