Security in Ghana’s Parliament has intensified, with police presence and barricades at the entry of parliament, to prevent the four suspended Members of Parliament entry into the chamber for proceedings.
Majority Chief Whip and MP for South Dayi, Rockson Nelson Dafeamakpor; the Minority Chief Whip and MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annor-Dompreh, the MP for Gushiegu, Alhassan Sulemana Tampuuli, and the MP for Weija-Gbawe, Jerry Ahmed Shaib were suspended for two weeks by Speaker Alban Bagbin on 31st January, 2025 following their involvement in the chaos during the vetting at the Appointments Committee sitting.
Ahead of parliamentary sitting today at 12 noon, security has been heightened, with heavy police presence to enforce the absence of these four MPs in the chamber.
However, the minority caucus continues to protest suspension of its members, demanding and fair hearing before sanctioning.
