Sosu Spotted In Parliament for 2022 Budget Reading After Bagbin Told Court He Was Out of the Country
Member of Parliament for the Madina Constituency, Francis-Xavier Sosu has been spotted in the chamber of Parliament.
The legislator, who has been on parliamentary business outside Ghana, was seen readying to join his colleagues, ahead of the presentation of the 2022 budget estimates by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
Sosu’s arrival in Parliament comes at a time when the MP has failed to show up in court, following Police charges, accusing him of his involvement in a violent demonstration in his constituency.
The police had earlier received a letter from the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin indicating that Sosu was out of the country on Parliamentary duties.
In court on Monday, Assistant Superintendent of Police Sylvester Asare represented the police while Lawyer Victor Kodjogah Adawudu represented Sosu.
The case which was held in Chambers has subsequently been adjourned to November 16, 2021, for him to appear.
