The committee investigating the January 30 vetting session disruptions has suspended its proceedings indefinitely.
The Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Bedzrah, announced the suspension, citing directives from the Clerk of Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror.
According to Bedzrah, the Clerk informed the committee that Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin would provide further instructions regarding the next steps for the investigation.
The committee was actively in session when the directive was issued, leading to an immediate halt in proceedings.
“We’re getting indications from the clerk of Parliament and I want to put it on record that, the clerk of Parliament has instructed that we suspend the sitting until further notice.
“And therefore I want everybody to be aware that it is not the committee that has decided to stop but the clerk to the Parliament of Ghana has requested that until he gets further instruction from the speaker, the committee should suspend sitting.”
