Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, has disputed media allegations that he granted Adwoa Safo permission on medical reasons, calling the item "false news." He claims that he has gotten several phone calls from the media.
He has never said that he has given authorization to Dome Kwabenya MP. "There's some rumor going around that there's some phony news." I granted an interview to state that I granted Adwoa Safo permission to leave Parliament due to health concerns. I want everyone to know that I have never made such a decision anyplace.
"The votes and processes will capture those who are absent, present, and absent with permission, rather than the Speaker determining who is present or absent." "I haven't stated anything like that anywhere," he clarified.
Speaker Bagbin stated that he will handle the problem of absentee MPs in a straightforward and understandable manner.
The Dome Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP) has been in the United States since Parliament started sittings this year.
Her absence is thought to be having a significant impact on the Majority's capacity to conduct government business in the House, notably the E-levy.
Some want quick disciplinary action taken against her, while others want the administration to investigate all alternatives, including expulsion from the party.
