The Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, , has warned of serious consequences for the country's democratic future following Speaker of Parliament 's decision to suspend four lawmakers after the chaotic scenes during the ministerial vetting.
According to Oppong Nkrumah, Bagbin's decision to suspend the four MPs sets a dangerous precedent for both the legislature and the country, accusing the Speaker of failing to act in accordance with established laws.
Speaking on Net2 TV on Monday, February 3, 2025, he suggested that allowing the suspension to stand could potentially pave the way for potential abuse of power, which future Speakers of Parliament might weaponize to settle scores, pursue personal vendettas, or make decisions that favor their own side. "We are a nation of laws, not of men.
We operate based on laws, and the reason the decision to suspend the MPs should not be accepted is that it opens the door for potential abuse of power.
