Cocaine probe: Majority used super majority with Speaker’s support to weaken Parliament – Afenyo-Markin

Mr Afenyo-Markin described the outcome of the proceedings as a setback for parliamentary oversight, accusing the Majority of using its numerical strength, with the support of the Speaker, to prevent Parliament from fully scrutinising the matter.

Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticised the Majority and Speaker Alban Bagbin over the handling of the Minority’s push for a parliamentary inquiry into recent cocaine seizures.

Mr Afenyo-Markin said the Speaker’s position that certain aspects of the matter were before the courts did not, in his view, explain how that prevented Parliament from exercising its constitutional oversight responsibilities.
