The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has urged Members of Parliament who disagree with his directives on how caucus leaders should be appointed to proceed to court.
Alban Bagbin, on Wednesday, February 21, clarified that the majority caucus in Parliament does not have the authority to independently appoint its leaders without the involvement of the political party overseeing the process.
Making the statement on the floor of parliament, the Speaker underscored the crucial role of the political party in guiding and influencing the selection of leaders within the majority.
This clarification by the Speaker comes at a time when reports indicate that the ruling party is planning to change the leaders of its majority caucus in Parliament.
He insisted that the parliamentary protocol binds all MPs until a court of competent jurisdiction proves otherwise
He said if anyone disagree with him, the person can proceed to the courts to get it changed.
