Parliamentary proceedings on February 4, 2025, took a disappointing turn when decorum gave way to insults and political score-settling.
The incident, which unfolded during discussions on the 60th anniversary of the death of Joseph Boakye Danquah, highlighted the failure of leadership in maintaining order and fostering constructive debate.
The session became heated after Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, challenged what he described as inaccurate praises being heaped on JB Danquah by the Minority.
His concerns sparked an intense back-and-forth, which led the presiding Speaker, Andrew Asiamah, to impose restrictions on contributions, allowing only parliamentary leadership to speak.
