Member of Parliament (MP) for Bole-Bamboi, Yusif Sulemana says the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has been fair to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislators in the wake of the seats controversy in the House.

Parliament has not conducted business over the past three weeks due to the ongoing legal case between the Speaker and "Majority" Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin at the Supreme Court regarding the declaration of the four Parliamentary seats.

After Monday's hearing, Mr Afenyo-Markin claimed that the Speaker was deliberately treating NPP MPs unfairly in relation to the matter.

However, the NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Bole-Bamboi, Yusif Sulemana disagrees with Mr Afenyo-Markin, stating that the Speaker has done nothing wrong.

“I rather think that the Speaker has been very, very fair to them, and some of us believe that the Speaker is treating them with kid gloves,” he said.

He added, “The way he [the Speaker] is tolerating them, the way he is relating with them, to some extent we feel that he even bends the rules in order to accommodate them. So, I do not think that the Speaker is maltreating them.”

Although the Supreme Court was expected to deliver a verdict on the case on Monday, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo adjourned the case to Tuesday, November 12.
