Reports say the Senate has reversed its decision to deny the confirmation of the Deputy Education Minster for Planning, Research and Development.
According to the reports, the Senate Tuesday voted to finally confirm Dr. Kadiker Dahn after trying a motion for reconsideration by Senator Isaac Nyenabo.
Dr. Dahn’s confirmation process experienced its first breakthrough after the procedural reconsideration motion was passed following a compromise.
The passage of the motion followed appeals for the Senate not to take the individual vote of every Senator but instead vote on the basis of nay and yea.
Nimba Senator Adolphus Dolo led the appeals along with majority members of the Senate after Pro Temp Cletus Wotorson had requested the individual voting.
The Senate last week rejected Dr. Kadiker Dahn, on the basis he did not obtain the required sixteen votes amidst questions over his ability to serve in the position.
Our Legislative reporter says, Pro Temp Wotorson who was critical of Dr. Dahn Tuesday failed to comment on his final confirmation.
But, sources within the Senate said Dr. Dahn was overwhelmingly confirmed with one Senator voting against him.
