Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Sefwi-Wiawso constituency of the Western North Region have staged a protest against the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
This demonstration follows the Speaker’s decision to expel their Member of Parliament, Dr. Kwaku Afriyie, from the parliamentary session over comments deemed disrespectful by Bagbin.
The protesting party members argue that the Speaker’s actions display gross disrespect towards their MP and the people of Sefwi.
The NPP Constituency Secretary, Atta Marfo, condemned the Speaker’s behavior as unfortunate and has demanded an unqualified apology to Dr. Afriyie and the constituents of Sefwi-Wiawso.
The protesters have issued a one-week ultimatum for Speaker Bagbin to apologize to their MP and the people of Sefwi-Wiawso.
They warn that failure to do so will provoke further action from the aggrieved party members.
