Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has rescinded his earlier decision to suspend four Members of Parliament (MPs) for their involvement in an open clash in parliament during the vetting of ministers.
The altercation occurred between Minority and Majority MPs, escalating tensions in Parliament. The disagreement reached a peak after the suspension of the four MPs, triggering a debate over whether the vetting should proceed on January 31, 2025.
Following the suspension, the Minority MPs walked out, leaving only the Majority to continue with the vetting of nominees, including that of MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who had already undergone several hours of questioning by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The lifting of the suspension comes after a review of the incident, and MPs are now expected to resume their parliamentary duties as normal. The move seeks to restore order in Parliament following the disruptions.
