Executive Director of Parliamentary Network Africa, Sammy Obeng, has welcomed the decision by Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to suspend some Members of Parliament over recent chaotic scenes during a sitting of the Appointments Committee.
Speaking during an interview with 3FM's Beatrice Adu, his comments came after civil society organizations (CSOs) issued a statement supporting the Speaker's move to hold lawmakers accountable for their actions during the disturbances, which led to the destruction of property in the vetting room.
According to the CSOs, maintaining order in Parliament is critical to preserving its integrity.
They further called for severe sanctions against those found culpable, arguing that such measures will deter future misconduct and restore public confidence in the legislative body.
