The Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has accused the NDC Majority in Parliament of disregarding the Speaker’s directive during recent proceedings.
Speaking to the press on Monday, February 3, Mr. Afenyo-Markin stated that the NDC MPs ignored the Speaker’s instruction regarding the reconstitution of the Appointments Committee.
“In fact, on the day, one of his consequential orders was that the Selection Committee must meet immediately to reconstitute the Appointments Committee. However, the NDC Majority Caucus chose to proceed with the vetting process without any due regard for this directive,” he said.
Despite disagreeing with the Speaker’s decision, Mr. Afenyo-Markin stressed the importance of engagement.
“On our part, we believe that though we disagree with Mr. Speaker, out of deference to him, we must still engage him, and we will engage him. We started this engagement over the weekend but were not able to meet the Speaker, but we will continue to his office today,” he added.
