Allow Speaker make a decision, don’t involve Supreme Court – Jinapor to Afenyo Markin

The Member of Parliament for Yapei-Kusawgu, John Jinapor, has called on the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, to allow Speaker Alban Bagbin to deliver a ruling on whether MPs who came to parliament on the tickets of political parties can keep their seats if they are declaring independence.

Afenyo-Markin has hinted of going to the Supreme Court to seek an injunction against the Speaker from ruling on the matter.

Mr Jinapor criticised the Majority Leader's decision to seek an injunction, describing it as unnecessary and premature.

Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show, Mr Jinapor emphasised that Speaker Bagbin has not yet ruled on the matter at hand, which involves the potential dismissal of the MPs involved.
