The Majority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticized Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin for allegedly mishandling parliamentary affairs by refusing to recall Parliament for an emergency sitting.
Afenyo-Markin accused the Speaker of treating Parliament like his "personal property" and making unilateral decisions about its operations.
Speaking during an interview with JoyNews, he expressed frustration over what he described as a lack of cooperation from the Speaker, particularly on urgent government business. "Look at the shutdown happening in Parliament.
The Speaker has taken Parliament as his personal property; when it pleases him, he opens Parliament.
