As Ocloo began her formal introduction to the Appointments Committee, the session took an unexpected turn.
She was interrupted by Minority Leader and ranking committee member Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who interjected with kind words of recognition rather than a demanding query.
“Honorable Linda Ocloo is a remarkable member of this House,” he said, offering his congratulations in what felt more like a gesture of camaraderie than scrutiny.
Shortly after, First Deputy Speaker and committee Chairman Bernard Ahiafor extended his personal greetings to Ocloo's entourage.
Then, without further delay, he released her, leaving both participants and onlookers perplexed by the extreme brevity of the process.
Ocloo's vetting had already made history before she had even finished her introduction.
However, some Ghanaians have taken to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to express their dissatisfaction with the turn of events at the vetting.
