Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has adjourned parliamentary sitting indefinitely again following the NPP MP’s failure to show up after requesting the recall of the house.
Parliament reconvened on Thursday morning following the recall initiated by the Majority caucus in parliament.
The NDC caucus in parliament were present in their numbers while none of the NPP Caucus showed up.
Addressing the house with only NDC MPs present, Alban Bagbin highlighted the absence of the NPP MPs, preventing the Business Committee from meeting to set an agenda.
He emphasized the lack of business to conduct, even though a quorum was present, ultimately leading to the adjournment.
“Matters that they wanted us to handle, which I admitted for consideration from the business committee, are not on the Order Paper and in fact, there is no order paper for today because the business committee could not meet due to the absence of the people who requested for the recall.
“As you can see one side of the House is completely empty. In view of this, we have a quorum to sit but we have no business before us to transact. In the absence of that, there is no other authority that can put business before you that you have not adopted to transact.
“In view of the failure of the business committee to sit, as a result of the refusal of those who requested a recall to show up, we are compelled to once again adjourn the sitting of the house. Knowing the challenges we are facing, it is not advisable to be adjourning from day to day. So, I will proceed once more to adjourn the meeting indefinitely,” he stated.
