There is currently a heavy security presence at the premises of Parliament ahead of the E-Levy debate.

According to JoyNews' Kwesi Parker-Wilson, National Security personnel have been detailed to Parliament and MPs are being screened before entering the Chamber.

There is also heavy police presence.

This comes on the back of the fisticuffs that climaxed last night’s proceedings on the floor of Parliament during the debate on the E-Levy.

The Minority and Majority MPs had clashed after the First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei-Owusu allegedly left the Speaker’s seat to take part in the voting and proceedings.

However refuting such claims, the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu explained that the Bekwai MP rather wanted to excuse himself to take his medication and not to partake in the vote.

The Suame MP observed that the First Deputy Speaker’s ill health was so severe that he shook like a leaf.

Speaking to JoyNews, he said, “Is it the case that a Speaker can’t even excuse himself to visit the loo? Is it the case? The man was indisposed. He was shivering. And he went to the clinic, the record is there. So we had to persuade him to come and sit. He was in the chamber and he was shaking like a leaf.”

Meanwhile, members on the Minority side have accused the Majority side of attempting to toy with the Constitution of Ghana to satisfy their whims and caprices.

They have sworn to resort to more violence if it serves the greater good.
