The Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin has taken objection to Speaker Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Bagbin calling his side “Micro-Minority” and pointed out it has no space in their Standing Orders.
“Our caucus protests that description and it is sad that when we are on our feet, our colleagues from the Majority are cutting our microphone off”.
Again from today, no one should describe us as Micro-Minority and Mr. Speaker we are saying you should protect us because we voted for you to become Speaker and our side were promoting you to be re-elected, he said.
When MPs from the Majority side wanted to respond to that the Rt. Hon Speaker noted that it is not open for debate, and the rules do not allow that and it is the Minority Leader who misled him.
“But do you say, Speaker should not use Micro- Minority but your leaders can use it?”, He teased.
