Minority walks out over Tribunal Bill, accuses Majority of alleged “kangaroo court” plot 

The New Patriotic Party Minority Caucus in Parliament on Thursday staged a walkout over the clause-by-clause amendment of the Tribunal Bill, accusing the Majority of attempting to create a “parallel system” and a “form of kangaroo court they do not recognise.

Addressing the Parliamentary Press Corps in Parliament House on Thursday, shortly after leaving the chamber, Mr Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, said the bill sought to establish an adjudicating body unknown to the Constitution and risked undermining due process.

The Minority Leader, also the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Effutu, noted that opposition to the Bill extended beyond Parliament, citing Organised Labour and the Trade Union Congress.
