The Minority in Parliament is considering legal action following the suspension of sitting by Speaker Aaron Mike Oquaye on Saturday.

Tamale South MP, Haruna Iddrisu who is the Minority Leader, told journalists that they “will consider measuring his [Prof. Oquaye’s] conduct and questioning his conduct by the standing orders [of parliament] and in the superior courts of Ghana.”

The House was due to rise on Saturday and be adjourned for some two months.

But the Speaker rather suspended sitting indefinitely; telling MPs, “we cannot go on holidays because we are not in normal times,” in reference to the Covid-19 outbreak.
