The Minority in Parliament have\u00a0yet again refrained from taking part in discussions on the floor of the House despite being present, in protest of what they consider as ill-treatment from the Speaker, Mike Oquaye.<\/p>\n
According to Citi News<\/strong>‘ Parliamentary correspondent, Duke Mensah Opoku, the Minority resumed their sit-down strike after the Speaker refused to acknowledge their leader Haruna Iddrisu who had wanted to make a submission.<\/p>\n This is not the first time the Minority has expressed their displeasure of alleged bias against them by the Speaker, but it is the first time they have refused to contribute in Parliament over the treatment.<\/p>\n They had taken a similar action<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in the past, refusing to comment on any business in the House after a report was presented to the House by the ‘cash-for-seat’ Committee which they felt did not include the input of its members on the said Committee.<\/p>\n That was a day after they\u00a0staged a walkout<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Parliament when an investigative report was being debated.<\/p>\n
