Minority Will Resist Voting From Deputy Speakers – Apaak

The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Clement Apaak has intimated that the Minority will not allow Deputy Speakers to vote in spite of the Supreme Court ruling that they can vote while presiding over affairs in Parliament.

According to him, the Minority will resist any attempt by other arms of government to dictate for Parliament. He insisted that the Supreme Court doesn’t decide what happens in Parliament but the constitution and the standing orders do.

“Folks we wait to see who will enter the Chamber of Parliament to restrain us from preventing an attempt by a presiding Deputy Speaker to vote. We resisted attempts to use all kinds of schemes and plots, including a military invasion of the Chamber of Parliament, to get Rt. Honorable Mike Oquaye, their preferred, elected in the early hours of January 7, 2020.”

The Builsa South MP also noted that the Minority will employ the resistance used in getting the Speaker, Alban Sumana Bagbin, elected as Speaker of the 8th Parliament going forward. According to him, the Speaker was elected and didn’t become speaker by conferment and consensus as claimed by some dishonest and insincere persons.

“We will continue to resist any attempt by other arms of government to meddle with the work of Parliament. Parliament is a master of its rules, we make our rules and they are not at variance with the constituency.”
