A motion filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus in Parliament prays the house to set aside a judgment pronounced by the First Deputy Speaker, Joe Osei Owusu on a motion of rescission moved by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu and seconded by Mahama Ayariga on Wednesday, December 2021.
The motion endorsed by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu asked that the house “sets aside the purported ruling of the 1st Deputy Speaker, Mr. Joseph Osei-Owusu, MP delivered on Wednesday, 1st December 2021 against the motion moved by the Hon. Minority Leader, Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, and seconded by the Hon. Member of Bawku Central, Mr. Mahama Ayariga, as captured on page 9 of the votes and proceedings of Wednesday, 1st December 2021.”
Earlier Tuesday, December 7, the NDC caucus already informed the house that they oppose the dismissal of their motion by the First Deputy Speaker and that they will challenge his ruling.
This comes after the controversial 2022 budget statement and economic policy which was rejected by the Minority after the Majority staged a walk-out, was later approved by the Majority in the absence of the Minority.
The Minority caucus on Wednesday, December 1, argued that the approval of the budget by the Minority was unconstitutional and so it must be rescinded.
The Minority Leader filed a rescission motion and it was seconded by the MP for Bawku, Mahama Ayariga.
After debates from both caucuses, the First Deputy Speaker dismissed the motion.
The Minority has therefore filed a motion to set aside the ruling.
