Labour consultant, Austin Gamey has raised concerns over the controversy surrounding four parliamentary seats, describing the situation as "burdensome." He has warned that it could impact Ghana's already strained economy.Speaking on The KeyPoints with Alfred Ocansey on November 9, Gamey stressed the importance of addressing the issue promptly."The country already has an existing strangled economy, and this situation is something we should all be worried about," Gamey stated.He emphasized that Parliament should not be perceived as an extension of the executive or the judiciary, underscoring the need for Parliament's independence.According to him, while members of Parliament may have come through political parties, they should prioritize the interests of the state, a principle he deemed critical.Gamey further pointed out that parliamentary decisions must align strictly with Ghana's constitution, rather than catering to the interests of individuals or groups."This is what we hope Parliament has been doing and will continue to do," he noted.In his view, certain aspects of the constitution are intended to be applied directly, rather than interpreted, except in critical situations.He cautioned that excessive judicial interpretation could limit the Supreme Court's mandate, potentially leaving it unable to act on essential constitutional matters.Read also:Economy: Positive trajectory has been on - Dr Ganiyu
