The Minority Caucus in Parliament has issued a sharp rebuke against the Majority, dismissing their claims that they, along with Speaker Alban Bagbin, are impeding government operations.
Speaker Bagbin recently halted the approval process for the government’s latest ministerial nominees, citing an interlocutory injunction from South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Etse K. Dafeamekpor. This injunction effectively bars Parliament from confirming new ministerial appointments.
This development followed a presidential directive advising against forwarding the anti-gay bill to the president for assent.
In response to Bagbin’s decision, the Majority expressed disbelief, contending that the presidency’s directive does not diminish the authority of parliament.
Responding to the Majority, Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, in a statement dated March 21, 2024, claimed that the Majority had been ensnared by its own strategies.
The Minority accused the Majority of orchestrating a calculated propaganda campaign to manipulate public opinion.
