The Member of Parliament has accused the Majority Caucus of deliberate attempts to frustrate the Speaker in the discharge of his duties.
According to him, “there have been consistent efforts to undermine the Speaker because he is not from the ruling party”
His concerns come after the NPP MPs challenged Alban Bagbin’s directive, canceling Roads and Highways Minister Kwasi Amoako-Attah’s announcement of the cessation of payment of road tolls has been challenged by the Majority in Parliament.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on Friday, the lawmaker said that Alban Bagbin action is not the first of its occurrence in the history of Ghana’s parliament.
“I am a senior member of the House. I have served under three different speakers. The records will show that this is not the first time that Speakers are issuing directives.
“Speakers do not only act after a resolution of the House and they know it. Speakers give directives always,” he said.
