The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority in Parliament is considering filing a complaint with the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) or going to court to continue its fight against the controversial sale of Merchant Bank to Fortiz.
This is after Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho, dismissed a motion filed by the Minority demanding an enquiry into the sale, on Monday.
But Deputy Minority Leader, Dominic Nutiwul, said the Speaker's decision to throw out their motion will not stop them from pursuing the matter out of Parliament.
"First of all I can challenge the ruling of the Speaker, when we come back on January 28", he stated.
The Deputy Minority Leader is certain government is hiding "a lot" regarding the controversial takeover of Merchant Bank by Fortiz because of how the motion was swiftly thrown out by the Speaker.
Also, the NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Afiduase Asokore, Frank Boakye Agyen, had alleged that there was political interference in the ruling delivered by the Speaker on Monday January 6, 2014.
Mr Agyen believes the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hanna Serwaa Tetteh, did influence the Speaker's decision to throw out the motion.
However, Majority Chief Whip, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, says he will personally start contempt proceedings against Mr Agyen over the allegations when the house resumes sitting.
Mr. Mubarak said the allegations are scandalous and disrespectful to the House.
