  1. What is this hullabaloo in Ghana Parliament?
    By Ghana constituion, of good reason and sound logic, a seat of Ghana parliament becomes vacant by death, resignation, overdue absenteeism, documented self admitted crossing of carpet, and pronounced guilty of crime or impeachment. None of these violations is committed by the MPs that NDC seks to remove. MPs are not robots. They have liberty and rights to independent decisions, freedom of choice and common sense judgment. Like any reasonable being, they can plan today and make arrangements to affect their future without neglecting their current duties in parliament. A sitting MP can decide not to contest again to come to the next parliamen. It is not a crime. So it should not become a crime in parliament for another to decide to contest for any party in the future. He must still do his parliamentary work without hinderance nor neglect of duty. MPs, take oath to become responsible to the state and get security for their work. They can be sanctioned by their party, if it is justified but the parties cannot interfere in their work in the parliament. The decisions of Prof Quaye on Fomena MP, Asiamah and Mr Bagbin, succumbing to NDC outside parliament, to remove Haruna and Muntaka were ambiguous and confusing. Parties can lobby through their MPs to influence decisions in the house. They cannot directly decide for their caucus in parliament. it violates the indipendence of parliarment. The request by Haruna and others to make the seats of some MPs, sitting with them in the house vacant is interolant, wicked and unwaranted. No one has resigned. No process is initiated to impeach them by their constituents nor to remove them by parliarment. There is no motion for violation of any rule of parliament against the MPs. Such an illegal motion for their removal may even require two thirds of the house to support the motion. The 8th Ghana parliament has seen a lot of waste. Speaker Bagbin should stop this now to make the remaining two months of parliament productive. He must protect his legacy.

  2. It's not a controversy. It was not a controversy towards 2020 it's your las resort. And you know judgment will be in mid 2025 just like the anti LGBTQ+ case.

    Shame unto the current democracy of GH under Nana Addo

  3. What happened to precedence
    I think this time the supreme Court should deal with this issue with urgency so it doesn't end up like domlevos case where someone was committing a crime day light but nothing could be done and the ruling came too late and there was no deterent of any sort

  4. What kind of foolish talking is that? They have to write to you that they are going independent? So assuming they will win as independent candidates, will they still be part of the party since they have not written to you? Holding a degree does not make you intelligent indeed .

  5. Senseless suit! Using the court all the time to sabotage the truth! They did that in the lgbtq+ law and want to do same here! Tomorrow will come and the table will turn. Don’t cry when the other side does same that day.
    That’s why they arranged the court to suit them so they can always do propaganda and engage in double standards ! Posterity will judge every person taking this nation for granted!

  6. You this man is “kwasea panyin” because you only think of yourself and your foolish and useless NPP but doesn’t respect the constitution and Ghanaians who voted for you fool . Kwaseampayin

  7. How can he injunct parliament when the Supreme Court has already made a determination that parliament cannot be injuncted in the performance of its constitutional duties. This is a clear abuse of the legal system. As is the case, the current political chief justice will sure aid in putting the matter on ice by holding up its determination like the lgbtq bill.

  8. They knew what the supreme court can do for them (npp) so they ran to supreme court for an injection.If I may ask does a law that apply some Years ago changes today? And these supreme court judges too will rule in their favor

  9. Supreme Court is more powerful than Parliament 😂 only in Ghana. Only in Ghana that u can find democracy turned upside down😂 separation of powers thrown out the door and rule of law is turned into rule of madness 😂😂what a mockery my country has become 😂😂😂

  10. Did the fomena MP write any letter to the majority leader in 2020 when he was thrown out of parliament by the NPP and prof Mike Oquaye because he decided to go independent ??

  11. Parliament is an independent body, fools from NPP does not know that the Judiciary have no say in the affairs of the parliament.
    Total nonsense because they have filled the judiciary with their own party members.
