The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin, yesterday lifted the suspension imposed on four members of Parliament for mis­conduct last Thursday.

This follows a plea from both the Minority and Majority leaders of the house for the Speaker to temper justice with mercy.

The Minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who, in his plea, described the action of the Speaker as timely, said it would demonstrate to the public the seriousness of procedural processes of the house.

He indicated that the misun­derstanding arose out of peaceful protest and didn't imagine things would escalate to that level.
