NDC had the chance to challenge Mike Ocquaye in 2020 but they refused.The Speaker of Parliament is not a Lord on his own he can be challenged.

Majority of these NPP guys are just clueless. If we don't get rid of them, Ghana is finished as a country. What nonsense is this man talking? If power is in the constitution, why is it misapplied everyday by Akuffo Addo and misinterpreted by the useless Supreme Court? What bothers me is how a supreme court justice who has been on the bench for over thirty years and doesn't understand simple basic English. My six year old granddaughter can understand this article 97(1)g h. Majority of NPP intellectuals and academics suffer from the disease called Acquired Matemeho Knowledge Difficiency Syndrome(AMKDS). As soon as they join NPP, they stop thinking.

What's wrong with these NDC none entity MPs? One will never find them thinking about the nation except themselves and how to recoup their investment in securing their offices in the first place by any means necessary. In terms of this Kingsford Bagbin sensationalism seeking and trying write his name in the annals of Ghanaian history by hook or crook means; Do we practice parliamentary or constitutional supremacy in the country? What make these NDC MPs, Parliament think that when they're finished making the laws for the country, they can also interpret it or be a law unto themselves?

In terms of this attempted NDC parliamentary coup, who crossed carpet to join another party, or did somebody go independent in this same 8th parliament? Is the 8th the same as the 9th parliament of the Fourth Republic? Who born dog for farthest from intelligence John Jinapor to warn the Supreme Court? "SC tread Cautiously, else ..." - John Jinapor.

If the NDC is such competent and erudite as projected to be, why has JM been their perennial and dynastic flagbearer or vice on the ballot since 2008, or being their hijacker with the party in his pocket, or the repository of all wisdom in the party, hitherto?

Whatever happened to division of labor, in terms of checks and balances, fidelity to the law, or humility?

The Constitution of Ghana gives Parliament the power to create new laws or change existing ones & so an existing law in the constitution has been applied. period

With what Law can one MP belong to 2 different parties in the world ?
Tell me,I want to know.
Remember the that both NPP and NDC have sacked these affected MPs and the they are campaigning on their own.
Besides,NDC and NPP have 137 seats in parliament.
By the way, why is the Suprême Court finding it difficult to interprete Article 97 if Speaker Bagbin was wrong ?
Tell me,I want to know.Tnx.

Empty Dzato does not know that Speaker cannot decision on the court action but the mps but the npp mps have left the house. Dzato is a Dr and have known but he is querying the Speaker. So what do such people learn to obtain their doctorate degree. He wants Speaker to take decision meanwhile the Speaker does not vote. Am happy he was schooled by Justice Sri. Which school did this npp Dts attend.
Did Article 97 mention anything like future elections in that Article so why the twist by npp communicators.They better enrol for the fshs.like Dzato.

Accountability is not mentioned in the constitution. Single sourced contracts are the best. There is a need of an overhaul of the constitution. A one party democracy does not help most people.

Why is the sc not able to interpret article 97 but just chose to injunct what the speaker said. They know they cannot say anything different from the fact that the seats are now vacant. Just trying to delay by injunction to dubiously keep the guys in parliament for npp. We are not stupid we all can read and understand the article 97 clearly.

Bcos they cannot deny that those seats are now vacant. They just want to help the npp to maintain their majority which in fact they are not.

Poor, illiterate, Musa, in JHS baby English; what does the following mean, "I are such daft ..."? When you compose, take time to go over your content before posting, okay? Otherwise, it makes you look like a dunce or retard. Don't be too emotional but just try to face facts. Have you read the constitution, and do you know we have 39 days to general polls?
