During her brief session, committee members had no questions for Ocloo. Instead, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin praised her strong delegation, emphasizing their confidence in her ability. Chairman Bernard Ahiafor acknowledged the guests and promptly discharged her from the proceedings.
In contrast, Dr. Omane Boamah, nominated for Defence Minister, underwent a much more intense vetting process.
