I don\u2019t think he will.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"1.1888661\"](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/1.1888661.jpg\")
<\/a>According to her, after some MPs had their seats broken, \u201cwe tried to get the Speaker\u2019s attention but we couldn\u2019t catch his eye so the bottom line was to get the media to report to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
