Abuakwa South legislator, Samuel Atta Akyea has stated that the Constitution is useless and must be destroyed if anyone thinks that Parliament is above the Supreme Court.
The legal practitioner has emphasised that the country is governed by the country and the Supreme Court exists to interpret constitutional issues, hence it must be complied with.
Atta Akyea’s comment comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that stayed the execution of the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin’s declaration, which had rendered four seats vacant.
Despite the Supreme Court’s order, the NDC Parliamentary caucus is insisting on being the majority and has affirmed to occupy the majority position in Parliament on Tuesday, October.
Reacting to this, the former Minister of Works and Housing in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem said the Minority’s position is unfortunate.
“If we are working with the Constitution, then we must do so effectively. Because if someone is saying the speaker is above the Supreme Court, then we must destroy the Constitution because it is of no importance.
“The Constitution allowed all of us to be in parliament so we are governed by it how can you say you will not abide by what it says?” he questioned.
