I totally support you. You can rub Peter to pay Paul. No sensible nation will sacked chief justice based on the frivolous misconduct. How can condition of service and transferred of staff constitute misconduct where the whole speaker carried his entire family to Dubai for medical treatment.

If misappropriation of funds is frivolous then how will you describe theft? How daft can you be?

But you cannot let Agenyo Markin the uncultured individual to use that platform to denigrate individuals. Why did you not go to court to halt the process?

These idiots are like petulant kids throwing their toys out of the pram when what is needed is maturity and for them to do their elected duty. The majority which represents the voice of the people have spoken very loudly that your mouth piece in the 3rd arm of government will not be tolerated to do your bidding. Gone are the days when you can run to court to expedite cases within 24hours because the elephant mother is at the helm of affairs. Now you will have to follow the law which kicked her out. If you need redress go to court. Your own woman stated “the law is the law” get on with it and stop the fooling. If you guys choose not to sit then OFF! We do not care about these nonsense feelings. How some so called “MP’s” think misappropriating fund is acceptable and we therefore the former CJ shouldn’t lose her job then tell her she should’ve afford those who are languishing in jail for stealing chickens, goats, sheep etc to also walk or is it because she’s a former CJ? Please spare us the lecture and let the law be the law. Mbuasem

Opinion is not a law my friend.
NPP could have taken the opportunity offered them to ask tangible questions.
If the procedures were really unfaire,it should have been the time to test the incoming Chief Justice before the cameras.
Now you have left him off the hook.
What kind of absurd principle is that?
Tnx.

I wonder why we even bother to refer to our Parliamentarians, because some really and truly don't deserve that respect. The conduct of the minority yesterday was premeditated. They decided to attend the vetting just to try and frustrate the work of the Committee. They were not interested in participating in the vetting. That old dude shouldn't attempt to gaslight well discerning Ghanaians. They are at liberty to boycott all and every sitting of Parliament and Ghana will be a better place without them

A group of shameless nation wreckers indeed. What are they saying this time? Principle? These nation wreckers and misguided twerps were told earlier by the Speaker that the work of Parliament could not be halted because of a pending case in the court. There are lawyers amongst them but they collectively decided not to obey the ruling of the Speaker. I am afraid these are the types of disobedient representatives fighting for power to rule this country again. What are these? No, let's start noting every subversive activity of this dwindling minority group so we do not forget.

These fools boycotted the 1992 parliamentary elections yet Ghana did not come to a standstill!
They should all be sacked since their presence is negligible!

The minority in parliament is a funny group of people. They always want to be in the headlines. What they did was no where near principles.
They shouldn't have even been present in the first place if they're against the process. There was no need coming there to read a statement that was aimed at impuning people. The leader of the caucus isn't leading his side to make an impact. There's no maturity on the part of the leader. He's used his opening remarks to hurt persons who have no chance to be heard.
His colleagues should show maturity and call him to order

Of course the walk out was premeditated. It could be deduced from from the opening address by the minority leader that the address prepared the grounds for the walk out. The present crop of leaders are doing more harm to the party than good. This will have a future repercussions which might not be identified now. It's the party that will suffer the consequences.

We know the minority will always have their say, and the majority their way. When you stage a walk out we the citizens are denied your say which could have given us informed decision on the issue. In this particular vetting of the CJ, the majority will not ask the tough questions that we expected from you the minority. Always think of the interest of your constituents

NPP boycotted the 1992 parliamentary election and only NDC and other smaller opposition which all aligned to them worked in parliament. NPP is ego filled that they fail to learn.
