The Minority in Parliament has staged a walkout during proceedings, protesting what they term the government's disregard for due process and parliamentary procedures. The boycott follows disagreements over the passage of several controversial bills.
The Minority Leader cited several concerns:
- Rushed consideration of important legislation
- Limited time for committee deliberations
- Government's failure to address minority questions
- Use of majority to suppress minority viewpoints
The Majority Leader criticized the boycott as unpatriotic, noting that Ghanaians elected MPs to debate and vote, not to walk out.
