They noted in videos that have surfaced online that they travelled long distances to support their candidates and experience the vetting process.

However, their expectations were not met since their candidate, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, health Minister-designate was not vetted despite waiting long hours.

They blamed the Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin, for the outcome, accusing him of asking too many questions during the vetting of Sam George.

He said the behaviour put up by the Members of Parliament proved to him that his Dutch passport was more valuable than the Parliament of Ghana.

Aside from him, many Ghanaians who came across his video also expressed their displeasure over the conduct of the MPs.
