Private legal practitioner lawyer Kwesi Bekai has slammed Members of Parliament for the dishonourable and uncouth behaviour they exhibited on Monday, December 20, 2021.
He said the brouhaha that surrounded the decision by First Deputy Speaker’s attempt to vote on the day was not unlawful.
He explained that once the First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei Owusu is also a parliamentarian, he has the right to vote.
“You cannot prevent him from voting. He had every right to vote. He is a parliamentarian,” he said.
He wanted that the chaos will repeat itself when the House resumes recess and the best way to prevent it is to beef up security in the chamber.
He noted that we cannot sit unconcerned and allow the MPs to throw the House into a state of confusion, anarchy, and indiscipline.
The lawyer indicated that the MPs must behave as honourable members, build consensus and work in the interest of Ghana.
He said when it comes to the crunch, the Police can move anywhere and maintain law and order.
The Marshall who was in charge of security in the chamber failed to prevent the chaos and so, the Inspector General of Police must take it up and allow his men to move into the chamber, he advised.
He said the Police have a duty to go anywhere and cause an arrest when people break the law.
