Why is Annoh-Dompreh already seated? – Kwame Agbodza quizzes

Chief Whip for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Governs Kwame Agbodza has raised issues with how Chief Whip of the New Patriotic Party, Annoh Dompreh made his way into the chamber at dawn.

According to him, there was an earlier security briefing by Parliament that the chamber would be opened at 8am.

Against this backdrop, Kwame Agbodza said he smells some government sponsored conspiracy with the security of Parliament to cause confusion.

Parliament is expected to reconvene today following a controversial ruling by the Speaker, Alban Bagbin declaring four seats vacant.

This decision by the Speaker meant that the NDC would assume the reins of majority.

Not enthused by the Speaker’s decision, the NPP MPs went to the Supreme Court for an order of a stay of execution.

This notwithstanding, the NDC held a press conference on Sunday to announce that they would only abide by the Speaker’s decision.

The Office of the National Chief Imam has warned Muslim organizations and individuals against issuing statements and petitions to the Government in his name without permission.

In a statement, the Chief Imam said he had observed that some groups had been circulating petitions, including a recent one on Hajj, using his name without authorization.

He stressed that such actions were unlawful and cautioned those involved to stop or face the law.

The Chief Imam reminded the public that on October 4, 2022, he, together with the National Imams of all Muslim sects, signed a deed and presented it to the Government at the Jubilee House.

The agreement recognised the National Muslim Conference of Ghana as the official body representing Muslims in their dealings with state institutions.

He urged that any petitions meant to be sent to the Government in his name should go through the National Muslim Conference of Ghana with the approval of the Advisory Board of his office.
