Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of breaking the law by occupying the majority side of the House again on Thursday, November 7.
He also accused Parliament’s Speaker, Alban Bagbin, of supervising lawlessness among NDC lawmakers.
Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Thursday, November 7, 2024, he said “The speaker supervised chaos …clearly the NDC is on a war path, they want confusion and they want lawlessness in this country and all these are being supervised by Mr. Speaker.
“The Speaker is setting the country on fire; we were disappointed with his non-reconciliatory during his press conference. We call on him to demonstrate statesmanship; we want him to know that although we were not happy on the day he was elected, it wasn’t the NDC that put him but members of our side.
“Mr Speaker is hurting democracy… How can the speaker say he respects the constitution but he will not subject himself to the dictate of the constitution?”
The Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Alban Sumana Bagbin, has once again adjourned Parliament indefinitely, following its reconvening on Thursday, November 7.
This decision comes after an earlier suspension of sitting two weeks prior.
Notably, the NPP Caucus had petitioned the Speaker to reconvene, but their members failed to attend the chamber for parliamentary proceedings.
Bagbin stated in his address to the House that without committee input and an agenda, the session could not proceed as planned.
