The Minority have accused the speaker of being biased towards the Majority in parliament, with his continuous sidelining of the Minority in debates.
According to the Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak , the Minority Leader, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, once stood up for 15 minutes and yet was not called by the Speaker.
He stated that the same thing also happened to him days ago during a debate regarding the procedure for laying two bills on the floor of parliament.
However, the Majority leader opined that these reactions are just schemes by the former speaker to still control the affairs of the house.
“…the man (Doe Adjaho) is behind the scenes and still wants to control parliament. Yesterday he even called them (minority) and was telling them that, when we were meeting the Electoral Commission they should not agree for the press to be present,” Kyei Mensah-Bonsu stated.
Kyei Mensah Bonsu, further lashed out at the Minority for not just walking out on the speaker of parliament but also threatening to file an impeachment petition against him.
