Speaker overrules objection to Peprah?s to resignation

Mr Justice Daniel Francis Annan, the Speaker of Parliament, on Wednesday, had a though time in deciding whether a motion calling on the Minister of Finance to resign for incompetence and mismanagement of Ghana's economy could be accepted for debate in the House.

The Speaker, after inviting comments from both sides of the House, said that he had problem with the use of words such as "incompetence" and "mismanagement", and the "call to resign", which make the motion looks like a censure.

He ruled, however, "that even though the motion stands close to a censure, it is not".
