The Majority Chief Whip, Rockson Nelson Etse Dafeamekpor, has urged the Speaker of Parliament to prevent the Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam, from participating in debates on the floor.
According to the South Dayi MP, Parliament has been duly served with a court order challenging Nyindam’s legitimacy and directing a re-run of the parliamentary election in the constituency. He argued that allowing the MP to speak would contradict the court’s directive.
Despite the Minority presenting Nyindam to participate in proceedings, Dafeamekpor asked the Speaker to deny him the opportunity.
In response, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin called on the Speaker to disregard the request, insisting that due process must be respected. He also cautioned Dafeamekpor to exercise restraint, noting that Parliament is a forum for intellectual discourse, not confrontational exchanges.
