The private legal practitioner who sought the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Deputy Speakers of Parliament’s voting rights is still unsure whether he will seek a rehearing of his case.

Following the verdict affirming the authority of Deputy Speakers of Parliament to vote, Justice Abdulai has stated that he would decide whether or not to file the review motion by the deadline of April 8, 2022.

“I am preparing my draft. The motion is ready. Other matters are still being worked on, so I have up to the 8th of April.

“I’m sure I will take that final bold decision on the 8th of April whether to go ahead or just leave matters to lie as they are at the moment,” the Lawyer said.

He was opposing the decision of Joseph Osei-Owusu, the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, to count himself for a vote on the 2022 budget.

Speaking on the latest suit of Parliament’s passage of the Electronic Transfer Levy without the support of the Minority Caucus, Mr Abdulai said it allows the Supreme Court to answer questions concerning his case.

The Minority is arguing that Parliament did not have the right numbers to form a quorum for the passage of the E-levy Bill into law.

This is after Minority MPs walked out during the consideration of the Bill.

Mr Abdulai is still unclear on what it means to be present in Parliament and whether one must be in the Chamber or may have just signed in as being present.

“I am hoping that the reliefs being sought [by the Minority] may bring out some of these issues so that we can determine to its finality what amounts to being present and what amounts to being absent at the House of Parliament.”
