Dafeamekpor denies restrictions on Minority’s role in Parliament’s Appointment Committee

The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, has pushed back against claims suggesting the Minority in Parliament is being denied the opportunity to fully participate in the work of parliament’s Appointments Committee.

Speaking to JoyNews on Thursday, June 19, Mr Dafeamekpor dismissed allegations that the current Minority leadership is not being afforded the same latitude as their predecessors in questioning during committee proceedings.

“So to suggest that the latitude given to former Minority Leaders to ask questions is no longer available to the Minority Leader or Minority members on the committee is absolutely falsehood,” Mr Dafeamekpor stated.

He further asserted that not only has the Minority been granted a fair platform to contribute to deliberations, but they are, in fact, being accused of taking liberties with that allowance.

“In fact, we are being accused of being over-indulgent in terms of the latitude granted to the Minority Leader,” he added.
