  "summary": "The Minority Leader Alezander Afenyo-Markin has strongly criticized the Speaker of Parliament for dismissing a motion to investigate recent cocaine busts. Despite the dismissal, Afenyo-Markin vowed that the minority would not rest on this matter and would use every legitimate means to inform the public about the issues causing the cocaine problems. The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, rejected the motion during Parliament’s emergency sitting on Tuesday, September 29, citing it as inadmissible under certain standing orders.",
