Partisan behaviour of parliamentary clerk won’t be tolerated – Minority
Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, has cautioned against any display of political affiliation by the Clerk of Parliament.
According to him, some of the NDC Members of Parliament were marked absent even though they were seated during the deliberation on the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) on Tuesday.
The party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has already accused the Clerk of Parliament, Cyril Kwabena Nsiah of tampering with vital evidence to be used by the Minority in challenging the one-sided approval of the controversial bill.
Mr Asiedu Nketia argued that the Clerk who keeps the true records of the House, deliberately marked about eight NDC MPs as absent, in spite of the said MPs being present in the chamber.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin was also unhappy that the clerk was being classified in that light.
He, however, directed the table office to rectify the errors.

Speaking at the Police Headquarters in Accra, DCOP Donkor said the success of the operation was due to effective teamwork and tactical execution by the regional command.
She stressed that their dedication and courage played a major role in bringing down the gang, which had been terrorizing banks and rural financial institutions across the country.
She further praised the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, for his leadership and direction, which she said has strengthened the fight against armed robbery and improved public confidence in the police.
DCOP Donkor assured the public that investigations are ongoing and pledged that the police will not relent in pursuing the remaining suspects still at large.
She called on Ghanaians to continue to support the police with information that can help in combating crime.

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has warned party members against using social media to address internal issues.
According to him, the NDC does not run its affairs on social media, and members must respect the party’s structures rather than making pronouncements online.
Mr. Gbande explained that the party has a General Secretary, supported by deputies and a national organizer, who are responsible for managing its affairs.
He cautioned that individuals who ignore these structures and resort to social media risk creating needless distractions.
He further stressed that such members could be invited and reprimanded by the party’s leadership if the practice continues.
Mr. Gbande urged party leaders to focus more on the grassroots, especially farmers, and ensure that policies are explained to them in clear language they can understand.
He added that the NDC is not in crisis, dismissing recent rumors as baseless.
