  "account": "The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, expelled Member of Parliament Samuel Abu Jinapor from the Chamber on Tuesday. The Speaker's decision came after Mr. Jinapor made allegations that Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa was involved in the sale of diplomatic passports for prices between US$10,000 and US$50,000. The Speaker requested Mr. Jinapor to cease making the allegations unless he could provide evidence to back up the claims. However, Mr. Jinapor continued to make the allegations despite multiple warnings from the Speaker. Consequently, the Speaker ordered the Parliamentary Marshal to remove Mr. Jinapor from the Chamber. The incident momentarily halted proceedings, but the House swiftly resumed its business. The Speaker emphasized the importance of Members of Parliament adhering to the Standing Orders of the House and backing up their statements with credible evidence.",
