Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, has highlighted the importance of adhering to parliamentary procedures following recent suspensions in the House.

 

Speaker Alban Bagbin recently suspended Majority and Minority Chief Whips, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor and Frank Annoh-Dompreh, along with Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli and Jerry Ahmed Shaib, from parliamentary sittings for two weeks. This decision, which takes effect from Friday, January 31, 2025, was a response to violent confrontations during the Appointments Committee proceedings on Thursday, January 31, 2025.

 

In an interview on the Channel One Newsroom on Saturday, Oppong Nkrumah acknowledged the Speaker’s frustration but stressed the necessity of following the correct parliamentary processes.

 

“While Mr Speaker is justified in his righteous anger, the processes in accordance with the standing orders should be followed,” he stated.

 

He further indicated that steps would be taken to ensure the Speaker adheres to the appropriate procedures.

 

“We will be taking steps to bring it to the Speaker’s attention, and we will be drawing his attention to the various orders that provide for how these matters should be handled.

 

“We are hopeful that the Speaker, when his attention is drawn to these orders, will ensure that the right thing is done,” Oppong Nkrumah added.
