Tell me which law has Bagbin implemented incorrectly or unlawfully? This is the problem. He has not broken any law. He just implemented an existing law which has also been used by the former speaker. This is a political problem which both parties must sit down and find solution together. You don’t run to the supreme court when the law is clear. The supreme court doesn’t have the right to dictate to parliament which laws to apply. It has the sole responsibility of clarifying the laws if misunderstanding arises but this is not the case.

I don’t think you yourself you read. And is the Supreme Court above the constitution? Do you know why the Supreme Court is not able to charge the speaker of contempt? Because they know they have violated the constitution and are doing political bidding. What was their ruling on Asin North and Santrokofi cases? And do you also remember the Fomena case and how both the NPP and the then speaker quoted the party and national constitutions to back the cases? What has changed?

@Opoku Amsterdam....As is stands, the Supreme Court ruling overstepped their constitutional mandate rendering their judgement both unlawful and legally and constitutionally illegal. BAGBIN did the right thing. Every organ of state is completely subservient to the dictates of the CONSTITUTION. In attempting to interpret what most obviously does not require interpretation, and doing so capriciously, the supreme Court ruling cannot subvert the sovereign and supreme will of the people of Ghana vested in the overriding fiduciary power of the CONSTITUTION. The die is cast. Let each stay in their lane.

Bag-bini is just arrogant. I have never heard in the history of Ghana Parliament that a Speaker is holding a Press Conference. You see what makes Alan Osman Bag-bini different from the other former Speakers?

He became Speaker by a mistake: I mean on the thread, he never envisaged that he will ever be appointed a Speaker of the Parliament, though he has acted in that capacity in the Past under Joe Adjahoe. Nevertheless he never ever dreamed of getting appointed to that position, especially the fact that a stupid woman as we all know sneaked from the NPP caucus and voted for such hubris character. Look at the way he dresses. He sometimes put a crown of Southern Ghana traditional leaders, what does supposed to mean? A crowned king or Chief? Look at the way he handles himself as if he is ruling as a leader of a parallel government, and not subject to Ghanaian laws and Authority.

He is not even the second in command according to the Ghanaian constitution. Even if he is appointed substantial leader who is he going to swear to? Not the Chief Justice? Arrogant braggadocio!

Ignorance at its best! The same article 97 gives exception to party sanction alliances in parliament. Why didn't the speaker declare the Fomena seat vacant when the independent MP opted to align with the NPP to form the majority caucus? Those MPs in contention are from the NPP and the NPP are saying they still want to work with them to form the majority caucus so what is the business of the NDC trying to run the affairs of the NDC. Historically, the call for MPs to vacat their seats always come from the affected party based on their internal assessment of things. The speaker is violating the constitution and the Supreme Court. Separation of powers doesn't make the speaker above the law. There's a reason why the president, vice-president, and speaker of parliament are sworn-in office by the Chief Justice

The speaker has lost control of the house and MPs behaving like rampaging bulls in a forest.

It is simple. The 4 MPs are NOT suspended and the NPP has the numbers to form the majority If the speaker cannot bring the leadership of the house to agree on this fundamental issue prior to recalling parliament, then it shows a lack of leadership skills.

Now he says these matters are not matters for the courts to decide but mature MPs to agree on and if he as the arbiter in unable to bring the parties together for agreement, then what is he there for?

What hopeless leadership. Now he'll stage another press conference and claim the speaker does not decide who forms the majority. Christ!

Can you imagine if this constitution was written by Lawyers, Judges, Professors etc .

This constitution was written by farmers, market men and women, and the ordinary Ghanaians in simple English language for sane understanding.

Look at how lawyers and Judges are confusing the whole country.

I believe President Rawlings was right in his actions as a Military Leader and a civilian leader. May brave Soul rest in eternal peace.

The speaker is working for the NDC. The president must use his executive powers. Useless speaker causing financial loss to the country. The speaker must be prosecuted.

We shouldn't forget that not long ago Totobi Quakyi came out to say the gonna make the country ungovernable and that's exactly what they doing. But if Ghanaians are gonna be very wise and not allow any political party to play with their conscience, then they should punish the NDC for this stupid behavior!!!!!

The Supreme Court should be blamed for what is happening in Parliament now. They needlessly interfered in the work of parliament by issuing order on a case it has no jurisdiction over. The case in question is given to the high Court to handle at Article 99 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana. The fact that you are a Supreme Court does not mean you can assign your self a responsibility that has not be given to you by the Constitution. The Constitution of Ghana is above everybody in Ghana including the Supreme Court.

When Commision is being setup, the purpose of the commission is to make the work of the body that existed or is existing before the setting up of the commision.
My first job as a Labour Officer on 14th April, 1985 was at Pfizer. The company was folding up, so what was to be done was to instruct the parties, meaning the company and union to negotiate the terminal benefits of the employees.
That done of my first day at the Labour Department I went back to the office to inform the District Labour Officer that the company has declared the workers redundant and as a result has agreed to pay them redundancy benefit, which is a terminal benefit.
The Chief Labour Officer Mr. Gyimah-Boache was informed by my superior and after the negotiation, the workers were paid their benefits.
A was known as the fire officer, who quenched industrial fires before get out of hand.
When Bilfinger And Berger was constructing the Accra roads the workers went of strike, forced the Managing Director to sign what they claim to be a Collective Agreement.
I heard gunshots from my office and in attempt to save lives I rushed to the offices of Bilfinger and Berger, put my own life in danger by standing between the police officer who were shooting at the legs of the striking workers and shouted at the police to stop the shooting.
I then turned to the workers I told them not to throw stones.
The Secretary of the Building and Constructing Workers', then was Kofi Amekor. Some of the striking workers assaulted him and I advice him to go back to the Hall of Trade Unions.
The hostilities ceased and we moved to the officers of Bilfinger and Berger adjacent to the National Museum and NationaL Archives.
The leaders of the striking workers joined the manager at the conference room of the company.
The first thing I asked was who appended his signature to the collective agreement and I was informed by the leader of the "Wild Cat Strikers that he signed it together with, not union executives, also not the custodian of the Collective Bargaining Certificate, the National Union.
It became clear that not the Local or National union executives organized the strike, that negotiations were still in progress and there was no dispute.
I told the leaders of the striking workers that the agreement they signed with the management was null and void, and have no effect.
I told them that only Kofi Amekor the General Secretary of one or people nominated by him shall negotiate and sign a Collective Agreement with the company.
The striking workers were on their knees. I told them to go and beg Mr. Amekor to come and negotiate on their behalf.
They came back to say that Mr. Amekor said that he will be able to make it the next day.
I went back to the District Labour Office, wrote a report, my boss peruse it and forwarded it to the Chief Labour Officer.
By my actions the strike that should have taken many days to stop came to an abrupt end on that day, man hours that should have been lost on that day were gained and the road construction was completed on time.
When the Labour Commission was being set up, I was of the view that those going to the commission will be experts that will quickly nib industrial disputes in the bud, as Mr. Gyimah-Boache, of blessed memory use to say.
There were also issues concerned not only with strikes, but as well Workmen Compensation and others, that at time I came face to face with the National Security at the time.
My bold approach to those issues enable me to solve them and at the end I told the operatives at the Blue Gate, not to molest my boss the Chief Labour Officer Mr. Obeng-Fosu.
Some workers in the company I work for embarked on a Wild Cat Strike on 7th December, 2022. I worker who embarked on a Wild Cat Strike is taken to have vacated his post, refused to perform the work that he was employed to do.
I wish also to state that during my stay as a civil servant I was also involved in Labour Inspection.
I was not a Factory Inspector, thus any infringement on the working environment that I suspect was reported to the Chief Labour Officer, who in turn submit the alleged infringement to the Chief Inspector of Factories.
In the nutshell, the Labour Commission could not resolve and issue of a Wild Cat Strike for a minimum time of a week or one month.
The bureaucracy at the Labour Commission is to much that yesterday I could not stomach it any more.
I wish that that bureaucracy be done away with or labour disputes resolution be given back to the Labour Department to resolve.

I post the content of Ghana's 1992 Constitution Article 97 Clases 1 g and 1H regarding . TENURE OF OFFICE OF MEMBERS

g. if he leaves the party of which he was a member at the time of his election to Parliament to join another party or seeks to remain in Parliament as an independent member; or
h. if he was elected a member of Parliament as an independent candidate and joins a political party.
These two clauses are very clear and concise. The Speaker is right, SU got it all wrong

Ghanaians must take a stand on the parliament brouhaha. These MP’s are representatives of their constituents in parliament and working on their behalf to bring the needed developments. They are being paid with tax payers money to work and if the NPP side boycotts parliament, their salaries must be withheld until they commit themselves to work for the people of Ghana. They shouldn’t be paid for the days that they boycott parliament. Paying them for no work done is theft of services and a fraud
