Minority members of Parliament on Friday exhibited their dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye, by hooting at him on the floor of the house.<\/p>\n
The angry MPs accused the Speaker of seeking to frustrate them from expressing themselves usually on controversial issues.<\/p>\n
The NDC MPs hooted at the Speaker after Parliament approved the controversial Legal Profession Regulations 2017 L.I. through a voice vote.<\/p>\n
Among notable changes, the Subsidiary Legislation Committee recommended that the Ghana Legal Council should not be allowed to conduct interviews for entrants into the Ghana School of Law.<\/p>\n
The Committee, however said the entrance examinations for admission into the school would continue.<\/p>\n
Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, had insisted that the House should have done division voting where every Member of Parliament is given the opportunity to vote the way they wanted, but claims that he was completely ignored by the Speaker.<\/p>\n
The Minority MPs hooted at the Speaker and chanted songs loudly in the chamber.<\/p>\n
