The Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has described the current confusion in Parliament as needless and regrettable, considering its impact on critical government business.
He blamed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs for the situation.
According to him, had the NPP MPs accepted the Speaker, Alban Bagbin's ruling regarding the four vacant seats, the situation would not have escalated. "Let's be honest, as political leaders, this whole episode is regrettable.
There are so many important issues that have not been addressed, that have not received parliamentary attention because of this needless impasse," he said.
