The Speaker of Parliament, Mr Peter Ala Adjetey on Friday re-assured the House that he would rise above party rivalry in his duties and will not do any favour to any of the parties.
Reacting to the confusion in the House on Thursday in which he was alleged to have walked out, the Speaker accused the media of distorting what actually happened.
In a speech just after prayers, he said he did not walk out and asked the press to correct the error.
Mr Adjetey said although he is a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) “and now the Speaker, I sit here to discharge my duties.
I do not sit here to please any political party. I will not be a stooge to any party.”
He said as a human being he is fallible adding, “making a mistake is not anything new.
I have never, ever ran away from speaking the truth, even if that means going to prison”, he said
