Some members of the Majority in Parliament are threatening to drag the Minority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu to the Privileges Committee for misconduct.The MPs accuse the Minority Leader of violating with impunity the Parliamentary convention of escorting President John Mills out of the chamber after the president's state of the nation’s address.Mensah-Bonsu had described President Mills’ address to Parliament as disappointing and the most partisan address he has ever heard.He refused to escort the president out of the chamber in protest over the president’s failure to acknowledge the presence of the Chief Justice as well as ex-President John Kufuor before his address.President John Mills has since apologised to the two eminent personalities for the slip, and the Minority Leader has returned the president’s good gesture with his own apology to the president.But the Majority in Parliament are not satisfied.Speaking on the floor of the House, Member of Parliament for Shama, Gabriel Asirifi said the Minority Leader must issue an unqualified apology in the House or risk being hauled before the Privileges Committee.He said the Minority Leader owes the country an apology for breaking the Parliamentary convention.He said if he fails to aplogise the Majority will drag him to the privileges committee for investigations and disciplinary action if possible.Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
