The Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has accused the NDC majority in Parliament of disregarding the Speaker’s orders during recent proceedings.
Speaking to the press on Monday, 3rd February, Mr Afenyo-Markin stated that the NDC Majority had ignored a direct instruction from the Speaker regarding the reconstitution of the Appointments Committee.
“In fact, on the day, one of his consequential orders was that the Selection Committee must meet immediately to reconstitute the Appointments Committee. However, the NDC Majority Caucus chose to proceed with the vetting process without any due regard for this directive,” he said.
Despite expressing disagreement with the Speaker’s decision, Mr Afenyo-Markin emphasised the importance of engagement.
“On our part, we believe that though we disagree with Mr Speaker, out of deference to him, we must still engage him and we will engage him. We started this engagement over the weekend but we were not able to meet the Speaker but we will continue to his office today ,” he added.
