Speaker Alban Bagbin on Wednesday expressed dissatisfaction with First Deputy Speaker's decision to dismiss a motion to constitute a bipartisan Committee to probe into government’s Covid-19 expenditure.
Speaking on the floor of the House on Wednesday, Speaker Bagbin indicated that Mr. Osei-Owusu’s decision to overrule his ruling over the matter particularly when he had admitted the motion is unconstitutional, illegal and offensive.
He described the recent happenings as the First Deputy Speaker’s penchant to overturn his rulings.
Meanwhile, Speaker has admonished the Minority to apply the standing orders to challenge the dismissal of the motion by the First Deputy Speaker.
Also, the Speaker threatened to compel the Marshals to drag out MPs who are in breach of parliamentary proceedings.
Due to the happenings in Parliament, PM Express tonight hosted Deputy Majority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin to keep the public up to date on what has been going on.
