Speaker Lifts Suspension on Four MPs Following Vetting Altercation

The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, has pardoned four suspended Members of Parliament (MPs) following their involvement in a heated altercation during the vetting session of the Appointments Committee.

The suspended MPs included Hon. Frank Annoh-Dompreh (Minority Chief Whip), Jerry Ahmed Shaibu (2nd Deputy Minority Whip), and Hassan Tampuli (MP for Gushegu)—all from the Minority Caucus—as well as Hon. Rockson Nelson Etse Dafeamekpor (Majority Chief Whip) from the Majority Caucus.

Tensions escalated on Thursday during the vetting process, leading to a physical and verbal confrontation between Minority and Majority MPs. The situation reached its peak when the four MPs were suspended, sparking a debate on whether the vetting should proceed as scheduled on January 31, 2025.

Following the suspension, Minority MPs staged a walkout, leaving the Majority Caucus to continue with the vetting process, which included the review of MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who had already undergone several hours of questioning by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

After a thorough review of the incident and appeals from both the Majority and Minority Leaders, Speaker Bagbin lifted the suspension, allowing the affected MPs to resume their parliamentary duties immediately.

“So, I have lifted the suspension order. I do so instantly, and it takes effect immediately. The affected Hon. Members are now permitted to enter the precincts of the House. I must say they actually complied with the orders,” the Speaker stated.

He further assured that investigations into the matter would continue, allowing the House to make an informed decision in due course. Additionally, he commended the security agencies for their support in maintaining order during the incident.

The decision to lift the suspension aims to restore harmony in Parliament and ensure the smooth functioning of legislative activities.
