The Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has said the Parliamentary Leadership will be meeting the IGP, Dr George Akuffo Dampare over the attempt to arrest Francis-Xavier Sosu, Madina MP for leading a demonstration in his constituency.
According to the Tamale South MP, the meeting came after the Speaker of Parliament received a letter from the IGP about the matter and the leadership of Parliament used the opportunity to discuss “several other matters including the matter of immunity” of the MP.
“Parliamentary immunity and privileges from the Lord Kings in the United Kingdom were to preserve the honour and dignity of a Member of Parliament to ensure that in the performance of his duty, he is not obstructed,” Haruna Iddris told Joy News.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency, Francis-Xavier Sosu, led some of his constituents on a demonstration against bad roads on Monday, October 25, 2021.
