The NPP MP for Aburi/Nsawam, OB Amoah is beside himself with disappointment, obviously upset by a majority decision in Parliament on Monday, rejecting a report by the Subsidiary Legislation Committee calling for the annulment of CI78. The Committee laid the report on Friday and recommended the annulment of the CI78, which is to give legal backing to the creation of some 45 new constituencies. The partisan voting saw the Majority side unanimously voting 81 to reject the recommendation whilst the Minority, mainly NPP Mps, with the support of CPP’s Samia Nkrumah voted 56 for its acceptance. By the decision, the Representation of the People (Parliamentary Constituencies) Instrument 2012 (C.I 78) would mature latest by Wednesday. According to OB. Amoah, the action does not only seek to dent the image of the august House, but is also gradually working towards making parliament’s subsidiary committees ineffective, if not irrelevant. “Are we saying if an Instrument is submitted to Parliament and there are mistakes in that Instrument, for whatever reason, we should let it pass? This is a very bad precedent. I wonder how the Subsidiary Legislation is going to do it work [from now on].” There is nothing the Minority in Parliament, who were not in favour of the rejection, are going to do, Mr OB Amoah noted. But he cautioned that if the EC goes ahead with the creation, “the aggrieved party if we want to go to court we will go to court.” Samia Nkrumah of the CPP acknowledged that both sides of the House admitted that there were some errors with the CI78 submitted by the EC, especially in the area of misplacement of some polling centres. “I think we have to have the courage to sometimes speak out if something is not right. Even if I were an NDC Member of Parliament, I would have felt uncomfortable with some of the inaccuracies.” She explained that she voted for the annulment of the CI78 because “I want every Ghanaian, not to feel disenfranchised”. Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the NPP, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey has served notice that his party would contest every "single constituency" that would be created by the EC. He was also confident the NPP would win majority of the 45 yet to be created constituencies.
