In connection with the recent chaos in Ghana's parliament, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Buem Constituency , Kofi Adams, has sought to clarify misconceptions surrounding claims of a constitutional crisis.
His comments were directed at private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, who argued that the current parliamentary impasse amounted to a constitutional crisis.
During a discussion on TV3's Key Points, Adams emphasized that while parliament faces a significant procedural deadlock, it does not cross the threshold of a constitutional crisis as Kpebu suggested. "There is no constitutional crisis; there is a parliamentary crisis," Adams insisted, attributing the perceived tension to inaction from the Supreme Court and alleged executive interference.
He aligned with Speaker Alban Bagbin's view that, while challenging, the issue remains within parliament's procedural domain rather than infringing on constitutional governance.
