The Member of Parliament for the Bawku Central Constituency, Mahama Ayariga could have been expelled from Parliament if he had pursued the bribery allegations he made against some key members on the Appointments Committee despite the Speakers of Parliament\u2019s ruling on the matter.<\/p>\n
According to a private legal practitioner, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo, the Majority Members in Parliament could have capitalized on it to call for his removal and for a by-election to be held in his constituency.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt didn\u2019t make political sense to push the issue because the consequences I understand could go as far as even calling for his removal from Parliament.
