Go and spit on your mother, idiot. I don't know why the administrators of this platform have allowed this senseless person a field day for a very long time. Unless they themselves are behind it.

In 2020, the MP side in Parliament had a commanding majority. The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Aaron Oquay, was from the NPP side. The Speaker, backed by his party, ruled that an NPP MP who had declared his intention to contest the next election as an independent candidate should be expelled from the Parliament of Ghana. His seat was declared vacant. And the NPP was happy.

That ruling was the first of its kind.

In 2024, the NPP, with the slimmest majority in Parliament but the Speaker from the opposition NDC, were up in arms when Speaker Alban S.K. Bagbin ruled that some NDC and NPP MPs who intend to contest the 2024 election should vacate their seats. The net effect put the NPP on the minority side in Parliament.

The NPP side went to court, and the Supreme Court ruled that an MP who declares his or her intention to contest the next election as an independent candidate or on the ticket of another party should not be expelled from Parliament. The NPP was happy.

That ruling was the first of its kind.

If you look at this critically, it is the NPP fighting itself, winning, and being happy.

This reminds me of a proverb on Page 103 of "The President Ghana Never Got", which says if you cast a dangerous spell, the gods of justice have a way of directing part of it to your tongue.

In Twi, it says: Sɛ wo to aduro bɔne a, ɛbi ka Databank.

Be careful with the evil you plot or the injustice you support today, even against your enemy or arch-rival. Unlike the NPP, you may not win and be happy both ways.

@ FRANKIE:
BUT THAT NDC MP IS CLAIMING THAT HE IS A LAWYER BY PROFESSION, HOW COME HE DOESN’T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE?

1. BUT WHY DID THE NDC PETITION THE SPEAKER AGAINST THE INTENTION OF THE NPP?

2. IN THE CASE OF ADJOA SARFO IT’S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BECAUSE IT’S ALLEGED THAT SHE IS THE ONE THAT SNITCHED AGAINST THE NPP AND VOTED SECRETLY FOR THAT POMPOUS ALAN BAGBIN.

“He said the NPP intends to petition the speaker to declare the seats vacant. But with the case of the other three it was the NDC who reported the situation to the Speaker to act accordingly and not the NPP. Because the NPP has the sole discretion to PETITION the speaker to have one of their own seats declared vacant, and not the third party. The NDC acted criminally in that case. The NPP could’ve taken the case to court and have the minority leader and his team penalized. NDCFUO AKROMFUO!

Worst of all, your wayward and equally low-achieving daughters, led by GANGSTA GYANKROMAH, have now taken to WEE CULTIVATION & SMOKING the stuff madly with their boyfriends. How on earth could a whole generation of parents and their rogue children become so DELINQUENT & IRRESPONSIBLE...?????

Kwame, l comment on issues on this forum but not that of this bigot who takes delight by insulting Allah and Moslems. I am not a Moslem but many of my childhood friends are because l grew up in a Moslem enclave, studied Islam academically for years and respect their religion. My best friend of blessed memory was an Immam.
I come from the Seventh Day Adventist Church and it does not teach me to disrespect other people’s religious beliefs. The Chief Immam of Koforidua was my father’s student and they became friends. He was one of the Chief Mourners when my father died. I totally respect all true Moslems but disagree with the violent ones who think everything can be solved through a Jihad. It is better we respect each other’s faith so long as it is not violent and doesn’t infringe on our rights. I very much hate what some lslamic people and countries do to each other in terms of violence and intolerance. Those are not Islamic.Let us know that Religious wars can be very dangerous. Can we see what is going on between the Arabs and Jews in the Middle East? Let us use our brains to reason and understand.

We're you voted to go to parliament to help better the lot of your constituents or to go and engage in unnecessary rough tactics with your opponents? If not because peoples in NDC strongholds don't vote competence, how could someone like you be kept in parliament whiles there's no tangible development in your constituency? This ugly

By the recent Supreme Court decision, Parliament has no powers to declare a seat as vacant by interpreting Article 97. The motion is dead on arrival. Period!

I strongly believe that Ghanaweb is behind the assault on prophet Mohammed message always on the page anytime news item is published. He is always the first to post before others trickle in. Ghanaweb should be investigated. Ghanaweb should have a mechanism to block or fish out the one behind this anti-religious comments. Not related to the subject matters or specific news. I'm a Christian but I hate people attacking other religions in this manner. Is Ghanaweb trying to say that if gangs terrorists warn Ghana on this platform of attacking Ghana in a week's time, they can't track the source before the disaster looms. The Bees that produce sweet honey must always have the sting to protect it. Ghanaweb sit up. It's a nuisance reading this from such uncouth personality.

You, NDC, prevented the laying of the motion to protect Adjoa Sarfo who betrayed her party and voted for Bagbin to become Speaker. Now that the same Bagbin has led you into a ditch, you want to hurt Adjoa Sarfo? In less than two months, Adjoa Sarfo will be history. So, you can do whatever you want with her. Babies never learn.

The 9th Parliament should promulgate a bill to prevent the president from appointing the Chief Justice. However, the Judicial Council will recommend the most senior among the justices at the supreme court for two-thirds majority parliamentary approval. His removal should also be recommended by the judicial council to parliament for a two-thirds majority vote. The Chief Justice should be politically neutral and not known to associate with any political party. I believe this will bring sanity to the judiciary.
