The Minority in Parliament has been blocked from moving a motion seeking a parliamentary probe into the dismissal of workers employed after December 7.
The motion, filed by the Minority Leader and two other NPP MPs, sought to have Parliament declare that the dismissals were unconstitutional.
Before the motion could be moved, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga challenged it, arguing that the matter was already before the courts.
First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor upheld the Majority Leader's objection and dismissed the motion. "Accordingly, the motion and the subsequent debate on it is stayed pending the determination of the matter by the Supreme Court.
