Alhaji Alhassan Sayibu Suhiyini, Member of Parliament(MP) for Tamale North Constituency has described the call by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus for an emergency recall of the Legislators as ridiculous.
While speaking on Ghana Tonight on TV3 monitored by MyNewsGh.com, the MP stated that the call by the NPP caucus is unnecessary as nothing has changed from the last sitting.
He slammed the NPP caucus for choosing their personal interest over the important issues that needed to be discussed on the floor of the house
“Their request for emergency recall of parliament is ridiculous. What has changed from yesterday up to today? The shuffle in parliament remains unchanged,” he slammed adding “These circumstances that led to the Speaker suspending sitting indefinitely are still the same. So on what basis are they calling on the speaker to resume sitting”, he quizzed.
According to Alhassan Suhiyini, the leaders of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) should be called to order, explaining that these leaders chose their interests over the important issues of the country that need to be addressed.
The lawmaker emphasized that the constitution and the Standing Orders of Parliament do not state that the ruling party should hold the majority position in parliament.
According to him, arithmetically and logically, the NPP caucus is not the majority in Parliament.
