A member of the John Mahama Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team and a private legal Practitioner Martin Kpebu have revealed he would urge the suspended MPs to consider suing the speaker Bagbin.
According to Martin Kpebu, it is a democracy and the Speaker’s action is difficult to justify in law.
Martin Kpebu is quoted by Berla Mundi to have said, “ I strongly urge the suspended MPs to consider suing the speaker. It’s a democracy and the Speaker’s action is difficult to justify in law”.
Martin Kpebu’s comments come after Speaker Bagbin suspended four members of parliament following Thursday’s ministerial vetting chaos.
The suspended MPs include the Majority Chief whip Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor and the minority chief whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli and Jerry Ahmed Shaib.
The four suspensions come following the heated clash that occurred on Thursday, January 30, 2025, when Okudzeto and Akandoh were awaiting their turn to be vetted.
Speaker Bagbin has directed the Parliamentary Marshal to prevent the four suspended MPs from entering the chamber.
He further made it clear such actions would not be accepted and cautioned of further action should similar occurrences arise in the future.
Meanwhile, the minority caucus in Parliament has rejected the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin’s decision to suspend three members of their MPs.
In a statement released on Saturday, February 1, the Minority Caucus rejected the speaker’s decision and demanded the immediate reversal of the suspension of their MPs.
