Lawmaker and Minority chief whip, Mohnammed Munataka Mubarak has said the Speaker, Alban Bagbin has refused to admit a motion that will probe Tema West MP, Carlos Ahenkorah for snatching a ballot paper in the house.
In an interview earlier this year on Hausa speaking Kumasi-based Haske FM, Muntaka submitted thus: “Bagbin is our Speaker but has refused to admit that motion. He has made an argument that as at the time that the incident happened there was no speaker, it predated him.
“We, the Minority, are also of the view that whatever happens in this land, be it in or outside of the house, Article 103 of the Constitution gives us the power to investigate, so the probe must happen, but he has yet to admit it,” he explained.
Carlos Ahenkorah, on January 7, 2021 snatched a ballot paper and made attempt to bolt with it while voting was ongoing to select a speaker for Parliament.
He made this move sensing that the NPP candidate, Prof Aaron Mike Ocquaye was losing to Alban Bagbin, the NDC candidate.
