Habib Iddrisu ‘very surprised’ as Speaker rejects Parliament recall motion
Tolon MP and Deputy Minority Chief Whip, Habib Iddrisu, says he was “very, very surprised” by Speaker Alban Bagbin’s decision not to admit the Minority’s motion seeking the recall of Parliament.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has dismissed a private member's motion filed by the First Deputy Minority Whip, Habib Iddrisu, seeking a parliamentary inquiry into recent major narcotics seizures linked to Ghana. Bagbin ruled the motion inadmissible, stating that allowing it could prejudice ongoing criminal investigations and judicial proceedings.
He emphasized that Parliament could still seek information from Ministers and scrutinize the performance of relevant public institutions, but cautioned against conducting a parallel fact-finding exercise that could prejudice parties to pending court cases.
