Public Tribunals reintroduced - Minority walk out on midnight passage

However, prior to the passage of the bill on Thursday night after a long and heated debate, the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, argued that the entire Clause 4 of the Bill be deleted, arguing that it created confusion in the country's judicial system.

Parliament has passed the Public Tribunal Bill, 2026, to establish a modern legal framework for the operation of tribunals in Ghana that reflects the values of constitutional democracy and the rule of law.

However, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, opposed the application, saying that the bill would be passed on Thursday regardless of how long the House sat to consider the clauses.
