The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, Honorable Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa has presented an intelligence analysis about the posturing and behavior of the Lawyer of the State, Godfred Dame, to Ghanaians. This was in reaction to the statements or press briefings that Godfred Dame had with the press after the Supreme Court unanimously gave their rulings against the injunction application by the Minority.
“Imagine what the Supreme Court would have done to our lawyers if they were the ones conducting themselves in such an unethical and irresponsible manner which is clearly of the most pompous and despicable kind as being exhibited by the Attorney General, Godfred Dame.”, he wrote on his Facebook wall.
He later asked Ghanaians and Godfred Dame these strong questions.
1. Is it propaganda that we staged a walkout?
2. Is it propaganda that our walkout left only 136 NPP MPs in the chamber?
3. Is it propaganda that the decision-making quorum under Article 104(1) of the 1992 Constitution is 138 — half of the members present and voting?
4. Is it propaganda that for all the major decision points in the Electronic Transfer Levy Bill from the second reading to the various amendments at the consideration stage, all the way to the third reading saw 136 NPP MPs voting instead of 138?
5. Is it propaganda that Adwoa Safo and Kojo Kum were not in the parliamentary chamber present and voting?
6. Is it propaganda that in similar circumstances, the NPP walked out on the 26th of November, 2021 to deny us a decision-making quorum so the 2022 budget wouldn’t be rejected?
7. Is it propaganda that the Votes and Proceedings of 26th November 2021 — the day the NPP MPs’ walked out, recorded 274 members as a present?
8. Is it propaganda that the Supreme Court held in the Abdulai case as recently as 9th March 2022 that 137 NDC MPs who stayed and voted after the NPP walkout didn’t constitute a quorum to take a decision rejecting the 2022 Budget?
9. Is it propaganda to demand justice that if 137 NDC MPs cannot take a decision rejecting the 2022 Budget then an inferior 136 NPP MPs cannot take a decision approving the repugnant and unconstitutional E-Levy?
10. Is it propaganda to insist that even if you unfairly take out Assin North, half of 274 is 137 and not 136?
