Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has lifted the suspension of four Members of Parliament following a bi-partisan appeal from both the Majority and Minority caucuses.
The suspension was initially imposed after chaotic scenes erupted during the vetting of ministerial nominees, prompting the Speaker to take disciplinary action.
But speaking on the floor today, the Speaker indicated that, "They demonstrated and assured me of their total support to me and the deputy speakers to ensure that we have an efficient and an effective function in parliament in Ghana.
So I am satisfied with not just the statement, but also their conduct. "And I will proceed to lift the suspension of the four members of parliament that I considered were involved in this disorderly conduct which amounted to contempt." This followed after appeals from leaders on both sides of the House, for the the decision to be reversed to restore harmony and cooperation in Parliament.
