The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon Alban Kingsford Bagbin has with immediate effect lifted the suspension of the four Members of Parliament, Frank Annor-Dompreh, Rockson Dafeamekpor Alhassan Tampuuli and Ahmed Jerry after the Minority Leader in a statement apologized to the Speaker for the conduct of his colleagues that resulted in the chaos.
On the part of the Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga, he agreed with the Minority Leader and urged the Speaker to temper justice with mercy.
Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin indicated that as Minority they have collaborated to pass all the forty-two nominees of President John Dramani Mahama, and the Minority cannot take over the powers of the Speaker.
“We will not litigate this and as Minority Leader I take full responsibility of the chaos and appeal to the Speaker to resend his decision”.
According to the Speaker, so far the suspended MPs have complied with his order and thanked the security in Parliament for enforcing the order of the Speaker but the Special Committee will continue to do its work.
The Rt. Hon Speaker further added that since last week Friday, January 30, 2025 he stopped referring to Members of Parliament as Honourables and only restored that today, Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
