The then former Majority leader of Parliament and now the Minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has been advised to control his emotions after Speaker’s ruling on Thursday declaring four seats vacant.
Jonathan Asante Otchere, a political science lecturer in an interview with BRYT Adekyee Mu Nsem host Kwamina Sam Biney on Friday indicated the Effutu MP is emotionally immature and that he wonder why the NPP assigned him to that sensitive position.
Hon Afenyo-Markin angrily led the NPP MPs to walk out of Parliament after the Speaker’s ruling, warning they will not return to the chamber to participate in the business of the house until a ruling from the Supreme court.
According to Mr. Asante Otchere, Hon Afenyo-Markin need to calm down on his emotions and rather be ready adjust to the current situation so as to get the attention of the now majority side.
The legislators affected by the ruling are the NDC’s Peter Yaw Kwakye Ackah of Amenfi Central constituency, Andrew Amoakoh Asiamah of Fomena, Kojo Asante, NPP MP for Suhum in the Eastern Region, and NPP’s Cynthia Morrison of Agona West constituency.
In delivering his ruling, the Speaker after a long reading, stated that if Article 97 (1)(g) of the 1992 Constitution was only to apply to a future parliament, then there would have been no need for it to exist since the MPs in question would have completed the term of the current parliament.
