A member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee, Daniel Yao Domelevo, has criticized the President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, for what he describes as the tolerance of indiscipline in parliament.

According to Domelevo, Cudjoe's remarks suggesting that chaos in other parliaments worldwide justifies Ghana’s own parliamentary disorder rather undermine the democratic principles the nation upholds.

The former Auditor-General expressed his strong disagreement with Cudjoe’s stance on the recent disturbances in parliament, stating that he was surprised by his position.

Speaking in an interview with TV3 on February 1, 2025, Domelevo condemned Cudjoe’s comments and stressed that Ghana should serve as a benchmark for democracy and discipline on the global stage.

"Honestly, Franklin Cudjoe surprised me with some of his positions this morning. He is entitled to his views, but I beg to differ. Using indiscipline in other parliaments as a justification for ours is unacceptable. It is just like what the government has been doing to us all these years when they misbehave and you call them out, they cite past examples to justify their actions.

"I'm not sure how many parliaments Cudjoe is referring to. With over 100 democracies worldwide, many have decent parliamentary conduct. We should benchmark ourselves against positive examples to improve rather than looking at negative behavior," he argued.

His remarks come after Members of Parliament (MPs), on January 30, 2025, overturned tables and destroyed microphones during the vetting process of Minister of Foreign Affairs-designate Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and Minister of Health-designate Kwabena Mintah Akandoh.

The Minority opposed the inclusion of Okudzeto and Mintah Akandoh in the vetting process, arguing that the agreed number of nominees had been exceeded.

In an attempt to resist, Minority MPs overturned tables and damaged microphones, leading to a heated altercation between both sides.

Footage from the scene captured MPs engaged in confrontations, with South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor seen exchanging words with a colleague.

Following the chaos, Speaker Alban Bagbin suspended MPs who played key roles in fueling the incident.
