Bagbin adjourns Parliament indefinitely
Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has adjourned the House indefinitely following his decision to reject a Minority motion seeking a parliamentary investigation into major narcotics consignments linked to Ghana.
Ghana's Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has indefinitely postponed the nation's parliamentary sessions after he rejected a motion from the Minority party. This motion aimed to initiate an investigation into large quantities of narcotics allegedly connected to Ghana. The Speaker dismissed the motion, arguing it was not suitable for consideration.
He explained that the proposed inquiry would interfere with ongoing legal proceedings and potentially harm the parties involved. Consequently, the Speaker deemed permitting the motion to continue in its current state could compromise the interests of those in judicial cases. As a result, Bagbin declared the motion inadmissible under the Parliament's rules and adjourned the proceedings without a set resumption date.
