Chaos erupted on the floor of Parliament on Friday, January 24, disrupting proceedings and leading the Speaker to suspend the sitting for 30 minutes.

The Second Deputy Speaker, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, struggled to control the situation as members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority caucus began chanting and banging their tables following the presentation of the business statement.

The business statement, presented by the Majority Leader and leader of government business, Mahama Ayariga, outlined the business for the coming week.

However, shortly after the presentation, the Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin raised concerns about the business statement.
