The Member of Parliament for Adansi Akrofuom, Mr. Alex Blankson, has likened Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin to a bad Headmaster in charge of a school.
His belittling of the Speaker, follows his decision to deliberately absent himself from the house during the voting on the E-levy bill.
In an interview on Wontumi TV, Alex Blankson stated that the Speaker of Parliament is a bad person and could have solved the chaos that broke out in the chamber if he had good intent.
“He stays in Accra and didn’t even show up when there was chaos in the house. He could have reached the place in less than 10 minutes because he has a motorcade that follows him everywhere he goes. He doesn’t have good intent”, the Adansi Akrofuom MP said.
Last Monday, some MPs were engaged in a fistfight following disagreement on the E-levy bill. The fight ensued when the MPs were voting in a headcount to decide whether the E-levy bill should be accepted under a certificate of urgency.
The Minority had attempted to stop the First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei Owusu, who was presiding over the House, from leaving his seat and participating in the voting process.
