Indeed we have a man of spine and steely balls as Speaker of Parliament, the third most powerful man in the country. Such bravery is what is needed in this country today to halt the wanton destruction and bastardization of all our state institutions by AKUFFO ADDO, the bedevilled master and executor of all that is evil and wicked.

Parliament is not under the supreme court and for the first time ever, the court has become frustrated because a branch of the government is insisting on its independence rendering the court unfit for purpose. People are standing up against the unfair treatment of the opposition by the court and sacrificing its independence to work for the presidency. Put Ghana first though.

Jeff Casum!
You are exposing your ignorance and illiteracy with regard to the constitution without knowing it. Where in the constitution does it say parliament is under Supreme Court? The supreme court’s role is to interpret the constitution, period, and not to interfere with the decision of any other arm of government. If someone feels that a decision in not lawfully made, he can take it to the Supreme Court for interpretation ( just like Afenyo-Markin did). That doesn’t mean parliament is under the Supreme Court. I think I need more time to educate you on the functions of the various branches of government

@ Frankie:
BAGBIN SHOULD ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, AND EVEN HE ANSWERS NO TO JUST ONE OF THEM HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY.

1. Did the NPP petition Speaker Bagbin to declare those seats vacant? If the NPP didn’t petition Alan Bagbin to remove the MP’S, under what capacity did the Speaker made a decision on behalf of the Majority ( NPP) Isles in the House? Determined that those MP’s have removed themselves from the NPP house Caucus?

2. When did NDC party or the minority in the House become a spokesperson for the NPP (majority), to the extent the Speakers didn’t wait for the NPP to file their own petition to have those seats removed?

3. Is the Speaker very sound in decision making after he based his decision on the NDC’s explanation that the former Speaker Mike Ocquay set the precedent for his decision based on how the latter ruled on similar case in 2020 when he declared Asiamah’s seat vacant after the NPP petitioned the former Speaker to act accordingly? How come the Speaker didn’t take into consideration how distinctly distant the two cases are, since it was the NPP that declared that they couldn’t settle their differences with Asiamah amicably and so he ceases to be a member of the NPP from whence: and that’s what formed the basis of the former Speaker’s decision to remove Asiamah from the House?

4. Did NPP House leadership had any prior discussions with the minority ( NDC) leadership and informed the minority leadership that those NPP MP’S have been removed from the party or have resigned from the party and so they intended to petition the Speaker accordingly? And did Speaker bother himself to get that explanation from the NPP before declaring those vacant?

5. Did NPP say anything to the Speaker in respect to any strained relationships with those NPP MP’s or indicated that there wasn’t any hope of mending their differences and so the Speaker should declare their seats vacant just like what happened in 2020?

CONCLUSION:
IF ALAN OSMAN BAGBIN ANSWERS ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS NOT IN AFFIRMATION, IT MEANS BAGBIN ACTED RECKLESSLY AND WAS PREJUDICED IN HIS DECISIONS, THEREFORE HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY AS THE SPEAKER OF GHANA’S PARLIAMENT!

Bagbin the speaker could have solved the problem simply by giving the MP's whose seat had been declared vacant a hearing, he should have asked the this question "Are you still a member of the NPP? Are you representing your constituency as a member of the NPP?" He could have also asked the NPP leader the same question" As it is he relied on heresay evidence by an an NDC MP to declare the seats vacant.

The price of wanting to be too democratic. An ndc man had no business being a speaker in a country governed by an npp with npp as majority in parliament but Akuffo Addo and co wanted to prove that Ghana is the most democratic in the world and secondly wanted to gift a dear friend with a lucrative pension but once an ndc always an ndc. Bagbin after he got unto the seat suddenly realized that he is an ndc and cannot co-exist peacefully with npp. He also realize that he should try and become relevant in ndc once again, so “ let me back stab the people who made me speaker of parliament “.

An exercise in futility. The SC shall constitute a panel of 7 judges including the original 5 who gave the unanimous decision and this 5 will not change their verdicts so assuming the additional 2 have alternative conclusions, it would become 5 - 2. Original verdict holds.

Bagbin and the NDC are only embarking on this just to stall the recall of parliament and wind the clock down till parliament is dissolved for elections. It is only intended to frustrate governance.

What Bagbin does not realise is that history would be very unkind to him and he'll go down as the worst speaker of the 4th Republic.

Let's be realistic, factual and with the law. Which article in the constitution says if a member defect his/her party should write to the speaker denouncing membership. In the first place how can EC allow two members from one party to contest in general election. Then there shouldn't be primaries.

Speaker Bagbin is 100% right to challenge the Suprême Court if they go wrong.Even King Solomon made some terrible mistakes so judges are not angels from heaven.
According to the Constitution, Speaker and MPs enjoy immunity clauses in Article 117 of which Chief justice should respect the Law.
Bagbin simply applied Article 97 in the Constitution against the affected MPs so what is Suprême Court talking about ?
Is SC saying the Constitution is wrong or Bagbin is wrong ?
Is Article 97 useless or bogus in the Constitution ?
The duty of Chief justice is to defend the Constitution not NPP's crooked tactics.
Was it Bagbin who sacked MPs from their parties or is he responsible for their actions ? No sir.Tnx.

Supreme court in recent times has allowed itself to be manipulated by this useless Akufo Addo led NPP government making the court to become politically affiliated to NPP. Over 90% of Ghanaians has lost trust in the highest court of the land. Even circuit courts in our villages command more respect than the current Supreme court. Those politically affiliated five judges who entertained Afenyo Markin knows very well that such matters have procedures for challenge at parliament. NPP never tackled not even a single of such procedure and quickly rushed to the SC which they think they can control. Why didn't they go to high court in the first place. The said article and the constitution of NPP is never ambugious.

Yes , I said on this platform. More than a week ago that the little fella had legal advice on where he was going with this exercise...The NDC
Leader in the house, had discussed with the speaker long ago ,about the issue of 4 seats being vacant because of some candidates being
Bumped at preselection process for the party ticket.
So he knew what he was doing, was within.the boundaries of the law as written, and the NPP was blidsided and caught off guard....Actually, it was a stroke of genius , by the little bloke.....(speaker)....so let the Parliament soldier on and get on with business.

RE: Those bogus questions to the speaker on the comment section. NPP is really funny. Majority of them think they are even more knowledge than God. Mean while majority of them knowledge is even lower than that of a day old baby. NPP 's own constitution outline that any one who decides to go independent AUTOMATICALLY FOREFEIT his or her membership. Fools. What does the word AUTOMATIC means? Does it mean further deliberation with independent candidates to declare their stands? ODWAN, you think you know everything on this earth. Your action is putting supreme court into needless public riducule and embarrassment. THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD WISE UP TO SAVE THEIR INTEGRITY.

The man has the balls the sizes of a watermelon. When u lion chooses to visit the market place it will be treated as a puppy. The SC is just trying to keep the MPs in parliament at all cost even though the law doesnt say so. I know they cannot rule on the article 97 bcos if they cannot say anything contrary to that of the speakers.

You people do you know that from the Auditors report a whooping US 17 million was used to create 'Smart Offices' during the COVID-19 time but no such centres were created but the contractor was paid that amount. From Public Accounts Committee (PAC), NITA under ministry of communication was the executing agency. NITA did not turn up to explain why the money was paid but no work done. The shocking part is that the contractor is Frontiers & Co who were the managers at KIA COVID-19 screening. What a country. They have share the US 17 million making you and me suffer.

From the same report out of 21 billion ghs COVID money only 11 billion ghs was used. Ask where the money went.

From COVID-19 Auditors report.

Speaker Bagbin is behaving like an anarchist who what to undermine our beautiful democracy. A wise leader wouldn’t have done what he did, let alone, challenged the supremacy of our 1992 constitution! His ego is going to be trashed in the streets. Best to dialogue with the SC to bring this anarchy to a halt, convene parliament to deal with important legislations especially the one concerning the impending 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

Ghana must be on a serious security alert in every part of the country from today until the end of the first quarter 2025. Security in the sea, in the air and on the land borders must be doubled and beefed up. The Military Police must mount more check points in the evening on every vantage road in Ghana. Every importation at Ghana Ports both land, sea and air must be seriously looked into and investigated, especially, the importations of foreign companies, embassies, ministers of state and their entourage and big Ghanaian companies. Ghana's KIA must employ more CID's at the airports in other to trace every foreign arrivals to their door of destination, especially if they are so called white people and suspicious black people. Ghana's BNI and the Communications Authority must work together and scrutinize every incoming and outgoing emails of every Embassy in Ghana. The Information Ministry must start teaching people in the remote parts of Ghana to be vigilant and report any suspicious and strange happenings and strange interviews by so called white people. The time to wake up and be on the alert in terms of security is NOW!

Is it not a disgrace that after the disastrous demonstration of incompetence of the supreme court, they still
go their chambers and offices instead of resigning enmasse at least to cover the embarrassment to Ghana
