The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has placed on ice the approval or otherwise of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's new set of ministerial nominees.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has placed on ice the approval or otherwise of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's new set of ministerial nominees.
It would be recalled that the Secretary to the President, Nana Asante Bediatuo, on March 18, 2024, wrote a letter to the Clerk to Parliament, Cyril Nsiah, to"cease and desist" from transmitting the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill to the President for his assent. Addressing Members ahead of adjournment on Wednesday, the Speaker announced that another interlocutory injunction had been filed seeking to restrain the Speaker and Parliament from approving or otherwise the President's new set of ministerial nominees.
Though the Speaker disagreed with the Office of the President and described the letter as"contemptuous of Parliament," he said the precedent set would have to be maintained until the apex court brought finality to the matter.
