The Majority in Parliament have staged a walkout today.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, had called for a headcount on the approval of the 2024 economic policy and budget statement.
Mr. Bagbin had suggested that the names of legislators be mentioned so that they stand and be counted.
This infuriated the Majority side of the house who staged a walkout to demonstrate their displeasure with the Speaker’s directive.
In a subsequent press conference, the MPs said the Speaker’s directive was a delay tactic to allow absent Minority MPs to rush to the chamber to be counted.
The Minority have vowed to oppose the passage of the 2024 budget describing it as inimical to the growth and development of the country’s economy.
Meanwhile, the Speaker has suspended sitting.
