Parliament should look past partisan interest in managing three non-attendant MPs - Ablakwa
The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has thought that it would be challenging for anybody to preclude the chance of a seat being proclaimed empty after a MP is missing for 15 sittings without consent.
Responding to the choice by the Speaker to concede his decision on the three MPs who were hauled to the Privileges Committee to October, the MP communicated positive thinking that there could be by-races held subsequently Ghanaians ought to plan.
He further set that on the off chance that parliament couldn't bear down on the three truant MPs, then, at that point, they shouldn't anticipate something very similar from Ghanaians.
"It is incredibly hard for anybody to contend that 15 sittings isn't sufficient time for MPs to look for authorization from the Speaker assuming a MP should be inescapably missing. We should acquire our keep and on the off chance that we don't recognize the Speaker, to our foundation, to our constituents, or more all to the Constitution, then, at that point, we can't anticipate same from residents."
He added "As we anticipate Speaker Bagbin's most expected October administering on how Parliament follows Article 97(1)(C) of the 1992 Constitution, and whether we ought to expect a by-political decision or by-races; we might dare to dream that eventually Parliament would be propelled by loyalty to regulation, profound insight and the public interest to rule past any limited partisan interest. The point of reference we set as we explore unfamiliar waters should go the distance.
"All the while, may our popularity based accreditations and Parliament's picture be both improved; and may quality portrayal which individuals merit be saved."
