Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticized Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin’s decision to adjourn Parliament indefinitely, calling it an act of “supervising chaos.”
Bagbin adjourned the House on Thursday, November 7, citing the absence of New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament and the lack of a prepared agenda.
This lack of preparation followed the failure of the Business Committee to meet and set the issues for deliberation.
In his address to the media, Afenyo-Markin expressed concern over Bagbin’s handling of the situation, accusing the Speaker of undermining the order and credibility of Parliament.
He described the adjournment as a disruption to the legislative process and an indication of a lack of leadership in managing parliamentary affairs.
“If he claims that what he did was a formal communication in response to a statement from the minority leader, then why is he supervising chaos in the House? What Mr. Speaker did today amounts to supervising chaos and bringing the image of democracy to disrepute,” he stated.
