Ghana's Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has indefinitely adjourned the House of Representatives following his rejection of a Minority motion aimed at conducting a parliamentary investigation into significant narcotics consignments linked to the country. The decision came soon after Bagbin ruled the motion as inadmissible, stating it was too closely intertwined with ongoing criminal proceedings and could potentially harm the interests of individuals involved in court cases.

Consequently, Bagbin classified the minority motion under Parliament's Standing Orders as inadmissible and subsequently adjourned the sitting without a set date for its resumption.
