Speaker’s decision to reject recall motion catches Dep Minority Chief Whip off guard

The Deputy Minority Chief Whip and Tolon MP, Habib Iddrisu, says he was “very, very surprised” by Speaker Alban Bagbin’s decision not to admit the Minority’s motion seeking the recall of Parliament.

So there was no way I could think that the Speaker would not admit the motion because the motion was exactly what I put on the memorandum for the recall,” Mr Iddrisu said.

Mr Iddrisu said the motion should not have come as a surprise to the Speaker, as he had prior knowledge of the reasons for the recall.
