The Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament staged a walk-out from the chamber yesterday to protest against what it described as ‘deliberate gagging’ of the minority by the speaker, Prof Mike Oquaye
The angry NDC MPs stormed out of the chamber over a motion in respect of the possible cancelation of the controversial $510 million AMERI.
The motion was moved by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member for Adansi Asokwa, Kobina Tahir Hammond.
The NDC MPs, who were seen making gesticulations, boycotted proceedings when the speaker disagreed with the minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu, that the motion moved by K.T. Hammond should not have been admitted by him (speaker) because parliament, which approved the agreement, was not a party to the agreement.
Two NDC MPs – Kwabena Donkor, former Power Minister and his deputy, John Jinapor – are already before the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service over the alleged stinking deal.
