If you lead the house to make laws for the citizens, you shouldn't consider yourself as being above the law and disobey the law.

Going contrary to decisions of the Supreme Court is nothing short of a coup de tat because the courts are the custodians of the constitution and no other bodies can supercede their instructions, not even the President of the land. PERIOD

Any instructions by the supreme court should not be taken lightly else HASAACAS

In the land of the self seekers and politically stupid educated idiots, what is suppose not to divide us is what kill us simply because each thinks as a tribesman and not a national.

The so call educated Ghanaian most of the time displays crass stupidity which even the stark illitrate cant think of.

Where is the so much noise of our education.

What a politically useless country we find ourselves in.

When the Speaker announced to the House that he had received the order of the Supreme Court to stay the Speaker's ruling or statement vacating the seats of the 4 MP's, the Speaker SHOULD or NEEDED to inform the House of the SC.Such announcement did not require a decision by the House. In my humble opinion, the Speaker erred.

When the Speaker announced to the House that he had received the order of the Supreme Court to stay the Speaker's ruling or statement vacating the seats of the 4 MP's, the Speaker SHOULD or NEEDED to inform the House of the decision of the SC to stay the Speaker's earlier decision. Such announcement did not require a decision by the House. In my humble opinion, the Speaker erred.

I don't know if there is any article in the 1992 Constitution that can force the Speaker to recall parliament.

It seems the judiciary is filled with favourites of the ruling government who are ready to pervert justice at all cost to sing their master's voice. Hmmmmm
THERE IS a Judge Eternal watching us all.

This people are dangerous
We must not allow Ndc to lie to Ghanians to power..
l remember same false rhetoric in 2008 elections.

We had Npp running the country well only to be deceived by Ndc and out good economy went aground instead of a continuation under Npp...

1.Npp was curupt
When we Ndc come we will jail them all

2.Kofour have American girl friend with twins

3.Ndc opposed Nhis and demonstrated and even vacated parliament.

4.Free maternal
They on the street demonstrating just as they are instigating demonstration

National IDs was opposed and the registration conducted ny Predident Koffour got rotten at NIA .

5.instigating labour and taxi drivers to demostrate few days to elections for the cost of fuel.

6.Ball of Kenley has increased when we come we will ensure everything is reduced.

7.Fuel prices going up when we come we will reduce fuel drastically.

8 Akofo adds is a wee smoker Ghanians should not vote for npp.

9.Akofo addo was a cocain dealer.

10.When they ndv come the will ensure Nhis is done properly and will bring one term nhis payment.

Ghanians bought into it and later retreat.lt was too late and things turned outside down.What a wasteful unprogressive period...

The looking if Mahsma and inflation sprang up.
This same Mahama inflated the price of the

Presidential jet and Atta Mills ordered investigation into his vice president.He did not leave to uncover before his death

Stay Queens sprang up with loots.Now he is repeating the same because Ghanians have short memories.

We are in safe hands under Npp.Yes in 2015 a ball of Kenkey in Accra was sold at 1ghc but now 5ghc.

A box of kitchen and chips in London and USA was €3 and $5 respectfully after the covit a box of same size of chips in London is

€8 and $10....Let's not ne deceived Npp is a very positive Party...Vote wisely

Mr Speaker, stand on your grounds and don’t ever give in to this NPP corrupt Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. After all , you have already declared the four seats vacant and the Chief Justice has no business reversing your decision. That ingnorant Afienya Markin, the former majority leader can go to hell as far as I am concern. He is a timid politician who doesn’t understand the laws of the separation of power between the legislature, the Supreme Court and the executive. He should go back to law school to learn more to upgrade his legal status.

Supreme court wants to say you can vacate a seat you haven't sat on.

If supreme court is saying that one cannot vacate a seat because of his intention to go independent in the next election, then what seat is Article 97 is referring to? What seat must one vacate if he/she decides to go independent? If it is not the seat the person is occupying now, then what seat is Article 97 is referring to. The word "vacate" is clear; if you have not yet sat on a seat, you don't vacate it. Speaker is right.
Secondly why should supreme court be so worried about constituents not having a representative in parliament for only a few days, while they were adamant in letting the Santrokofi etc live for close to 8 years without a representation in parliament, what a double standard? The Supreme Court is biased, lost their integrity, tweaaaaa!

Someone should advice Bagbin that no one or institution is greater than the judiciary despite the separation of powers. In a few days time he will no more going to be significant. End up well to save your built up reputation.
