Member of Parliament for Tolon, Habib Iddrisu, has commended Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga for his leadership in handling the recent vetting chaos.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Monday, February 3, Iddrisu lauded Ayariga’s ability to navigate the situation, demonstrating his capacity to lead the 9th Parliament.
He noted that Ayariga’s willingness to engage on the matter reflected strong leadership and a commitment to resolving tensions.
“In fact, I must commend the Majority Leader. He has shown leadership; he has exhibited that he is capable of leading us in the 9th Parliament because he reached out, and then they are supposed to meet and discuss this issue so that we will be able to see a way forward,” Iddrisu stated.
He also criticised Speaker Alban Bagbin for overstepping his powers with the suspension of certain Members of Parliament, describing the decision as harsh and lacking constitutional and procedural legitimacy.
“The speaker has outreached his powers; the suspension was too harsh. The speaker doesn’t have that power under the constitution and the standing orders,” Iddrisu said.
