Why is Annoh-Dompreh already seated? – Kwame Agbodza quizzes

Chief Whip for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Governs Kwame Agbodza has raised issues with how Chief Whip of the New Patriotic Party, Annoh Dompreh made his way into the chamber at dawn.

According to him, there was an earlier security briefing by Parliament that the chamber would be opened at 8am.

Against this backdrop, Kwame Agbodza said he smells some government sponsored conspiracy with the security of Parliament to cause confusion.

Parliament is expected to reconvene today following a controversial ruling by the Speaker, Alban Bagbin declaring four seats vacant.

This decision by the Speaker meant that the NDC would assume the reins of majority.

Not enthused by the Speaker’s decision, the NPP MPs went to the Supreme Court for an order of a stay of execution.

This notwithstanding, the NDC held a press conference on Sunday to announce that they would only abide by the Speaker’s decision.
