The General Secretary of the Opposition NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has urged minority lawmakers to resort to violence if any of the deputy speakers attempts to bend the rules in the absence of the Speaker.
According to Mr. Asiedu Nketiah, if President Akufo-Addo wants sanity to prevail in Parliament, he should allow the laws and democratic institutions to work.
“So long as impunity will not stop, resistance has been imposed on us as a duty,” he said while addressing the party’s youth wing in the Ashanti Region over the weekend.
“If a Deputy Speaker decides to vote [during proceedings] and at the same time play the role of a referee, don’t hesitate to slap him to keep him on track.
“If President Akufo-Addo wants sanity to prevail in Parliament, he should just allow the laws and the democratic institutions to work”, he said.
