Fomena Member of Parliament (MP) and Second Deputy Speaker, Andrew Asiamah Amoako is set to file a suit against Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin for declaring his seat vacant.
The leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Caucus in Parliament and Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin announced this at a press conference on Friday, October 18.
Mr Afenyo-Markin stated that the Speaker's ruling declaring four seats vacant, three of which are occupied by NPP MPs and one by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), denies Fomena constituents a representation in Parliament. "Indeed, I am in touch with honorable Amoako Asiamah and I am happy to even announce to you that he is also filing a separate action as a result of the conduct of Mr Speaker.
Politically, what Mr Speaker has done is wrong and it doesn't help democracy," he said.
