Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament(MP) for Bawku Central has expressed his dismay regarding the Supreme Court's recent ruling to halt Speaker Alban Bagbin's declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant.
As a member of the Appointment Committee that vetted some of the judges involved, Ayariga's disappointment resonates deeply within the political community. "I am scandalized.
I am sad because I am one of those who sat on the Appointment Committee to vet some of them to be judges, and I assume that they understand the Constitution," he stated, his voice reflecting a mix of disbelief and frustration.
Ayariga's remarks highlight a growing concern among lawmakers regarding the judicial system's grasp of constitutional mandates, especially in matters affecting Parliament.
