The Executive Director of the Centre for Public Opinion and Awareness (CenPOA) has commended Speaker for demonstrating leadership on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, when the House resumed sitting.

Michael Donyinah Mensah said when the majority of the people expected a showdown in the House following the controversies surrounding the declaration of four parliamentary seats vacant, the Speaker handled the situation better.

He said the declaration of the four seats vacant was an error committed by the Speaker while faulting former Speaker Mike Oquaye as the one who set the bad precedent when he declared the Fomena seat vacant.

The policy analyst asserted that we would not have been here if both sides of the House had tackled issues in the national interest and ignored their differences and looked at the business of Ghana and its development.
