Buem Member of Parliament Kofi Adam has accused the New Patriotic Party lawmakers of their inability to get all their numbers to conduct business in the House when the lawmakers were recalled on Thursday.In his view, this explains the reason for the decision to stay away from proceedings last Thursday November 7."Afenyo-Markin is my friend but he has been a very bad leader," he said on the Key Points on Tv3 Saturday November 9.Kofi Adams has said that the country witnessed a parliamentary crisis following the vacant seats controversy and not a constitutional crisis.He argues that even if there was anything closer to a constitutional crisis, then it would be as a result of the action and inaction of the Supreme Court in how it handled the matter."There is no constitutional crisis, there is a parliamentary crisis not constitutional.
If there is ever anything closer to crisis that will be linked to the constitution then it has become so because of the action and inaction of the SC aided by the executive arm.
Speaker Bagbin is right that he doesn't see any constitutional crisis," he said on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, November 9.He was reacting to a private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu who had insisted that there was a constitutional crisis following the vacant seats saga."Obviously there is a crisis because currently parliament has not been sitting since 22nd October, and they have not been conducting business.
That is a constitutional crisis," Kpebu also said on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, November 9."The crisis is over, the reason it appears to be lingering is because Afenyo-Markin couldn't marshal his numbers in the house on Thursday to conduct business," he added.The Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has dismissed claims that there is currently a constitutional crisis in Ghana.Addressing a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, November 6, he said "There is no constitutional crisis in this country.
