Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Professor Aaron Michael Oquaye has served the strongest of warning that he would deal with any member of staff who disobey his directive on measures meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus including wearing of facemasks.

According to him, he would ask any member of staff who disobey these directives to proceed on leave should it come to his attention.

“I have got the power to deal with the workers and for the MPs anyone who disagree with me let him or her do so, but it is my duty to bring the best of global practices to this House I consult my experts and doctors again I do listen to global development and consult my leaders on this I would not renege”.

He made this remarks on Monday when he had an encounter with a section of journalists in Parliament House to deal with some misinformation that has gone on to Ghanaians on measures he is putting in place currently as Parliament in the wake of the spread of the coronavirus.
