According to him, actions such as the injunction of parliamentary decisions act as barriers to the House's effectiveness as a branch of government. "I believe that if you allow Parliament to take this decision, then you can go to court to challenge the decision of Parliament.
But to injunct Parliament - I personally think it's the wrong approach to solving problems in Parliament," he argued.
Mr Mpiani was reacting to the Supreme Court's recent ruling, which overturned Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin's declaration of the Agona West, Suhum, Amenfi Central, and Fomena seats as vacant, following the MPs' decision to switch their political allegiances.
On Tuesday, 12 November 2024, a seven-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo, ruled by a 5-2 majority against the Speaker's interpretation of Article 97 (1) (g) and (h).
