Venue for vetting is a death trap – Kpebu

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has expressed strong concerns about the nature of the venue used by the Appointments Committee to vet President John Mahama’s ministerial nominees.

He said the venue is unfit for the purpose.

Speaking in an interview on the KeyPoints on TV3 on Saturday February 1, Kpebu lamented the poor ventilation and overcrowding in the conference room, which he claims made the environment unbearable.

“That room is too small, way too small. Some of the air conditioners were not even working. Within five minutes of entering, you start sweating profusely. It was serious, like a death trap ” Kpebu said.

He urged Parliament to consider moving future vetting sessions to a larger venue, emphasizing the need for transparency and public participation.

“Many party faithful want to attend the vetting. The process should be done in a place that can accommodate up to 1,000 attendees. That way, we encourage citizen participation, which ultimately leads to better outcomes,” he suggested.

The call for a change in venue comes amid ongoing concerns about access to parliamentary proceedings, with many arguing that limited seating restricts public engagement.
