The Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin has revealed that a true copy of the Supreme Court’s order freezing Speaker Bagbin’s decision that declared four seats vacant has been served the Legal Department of Parliament this afternoon, Monday, October 21, 2024.
“Like I said, NPP we use brain work, we do not fight; we are not going to organize people to storm Parliament, make noise with holding placards. Let the law works so that there can be peace in Ghana”.
According to him the Legal Director of Ghana’s Parliament, Nana Tawiah Okyere received the bailiff and he has been informed by the bailiff from the Supreme Court in a video posted on his Facebook account.
“At long last Parliament has subjected itself to court processes, and has taken service. We look forward to Parliament respecting the orders of the Supreme Court; that is the good”.
As to what this means, he noted that there is no controversy again, the court has ruled that its orders be served on Parliament and upon being served Parliament should file its defense within seven days.
Again, Parliament so far has shown that it is law abiding from its conduct this afternoon compared to last week when it said that the director of legal was not ready to receive service now, he has willingly received service. “It was not thrown at him, he has received it, sign for it; that is the beauty of democracy; something positive is working somewhere, let see how it goes”.
