The Member of Parliament for the Asawase constituency in the Ashanti region, Muntaka Mubarak, has cautioned against double standards in parliamentary proceedings following recent events where the Supreme Court overruled a decision made by the Speaker of Parliament.
Speaking with EIB's head of the political desk, Ibrahim Alhassan, the MP said that Parliament is guided by three things: the constitution, standing orders, and institutional forbears.
According to him, institutional forbears are not necessarily laid-down guides and principles but are essentially the way things have been done and have worked over time.
He stated, "These institutional forbears are things that help you to work, not necessarily because they are legal or illegal, but because they have always helped you to work.
