Minister for Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has alleged that he was the primary target of the disruptions that marred the ministerial vetting process in Parliament last week.
Appearing before the special committee investigating the chaos on Friday, February 7, 2025, Ablakwa maintained that the disturbances were not incidental but a deliberate attempt to derail his confirmation.
“It was evident that I was the focal point of the turmoil. The sequence of events was not random; it was a deliberate scheme to obstruct my vetting,” he informed the committee.

The disorder, which escalated into heated confrontations among MPs, prompted Speaker Alban Bagbin to suspend four lawmakers and initiate a formal inquiry into the incident.
The investigative committee, chaired by Ho West MP Emmanuel Bedzrah, has been tasked with identifying those responsible and recommending appropriate measures.
Ablakwa’s testimony introduces a new perspective to the inquiry, suggesting that the disruptions were politically motivated rather than spontaneous parliamentary disagreements.
The committee is expected to continue its hearings and present its findings in the coming weeks, potentially reshaping the narrative surrounding the controversial vetting process.
