A Constitutional Lawyer and lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr.
Justice Srem - Sai, says it should concern all stakeholders that the court can stop issues pending before parliament.He said this in relation to the tussle in parliament over who occupied the Majority side.Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, October 26, he said "Everyone should be worried that the Court can now stop any pending issue before Parliament.
It is not every matter that can be resolved by the Court."Also commenting on the same issue on the same show, a Political Scientist at the University of Ghana, Dr Joshua Jebuntie Zaato, indicated that Ghana is not practicing a parliamentary supremacy system where the decision of Parliament is final.He said the ultimate power rests with the Constitution and the Supreme Court is the body mandated to interpret the Constitution.He said "we do not practice parliamentary supremacy in Ghana.
ultimate power power does not lie with parliament, it lies with the constitution."The Supreme Court on Friday, October 18 directed Parliament to recognise and allow the four MPs to continue to serve as lawmakers until the case is determined.
