Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has instructed the Committee of Selection in Parliament to reconstitute the Appointments Committee following disruptions during the vetting session on Thursday, January 30.
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.
This is to identify those responsible and ensure accountability.
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.
In addition, a seven-member committee, chaired by Emmanuel Bedzrah, has been mandated to investigate the incident and submit a report within 10 days.
The findings will guide further action to prevent similar occurrences.
Meanwhile, the Majority and Minority Chief Whips, Frank Annoh-Dompreh and Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, along with Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli and Jerry Ahmed Shaib, have been suspended from parliamentary sittings for two weeks, effective Friday, January 31.
The suspension follows violent confrontations during the Appointments Committee proceedings.
