The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has responded to criticisms from some Members of Parliament regarding his decision to adjourn the House indefinitely on November 7 2024, after an earlier one on October 22.
The NPP caucus leader in Parliament and MP for the Effutu constituency, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, sharply criticized Speaker Bagbin's decision, describing it as detrimental to parliamentary order and democracy.
The Speaker's decision to adjourn was prompted by the absence of the Majority MPs, who failed to attend the recall session initiated by their own caucus.
Additionally, the lack of an Order Paper, caused by the failure of the Business Committee to meet, rendered the House unable to transact business.
