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.
