Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has accused Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye of threatening democracy in parliament.
The Minority staged a walk-out in protest to what they described as the referral of a motion to the Energy Committee without prior debate. The motion was filed by Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi-Askowa, K.T. Hammond to seek cancellation of the controversial US$510 AMERI power deal signed under the Mahama administration.
In a press conference shortly after the walk-out on Tuesday, 1 August, Mr Iddrisu said: “We (Minority) had no option than to protest the manner in which he (Speaker) is endangering parliamentary democracy and its practice”.
“Let me place on record to protest against the conduct of the Speaker in referring a motion to a committee of parliament – a motion which has not been debated and a motion for which no decision has been taken.
“This is a house governed by procedure and a house governed by rules and standing orders. Nowhere – and I challenge you to peruse the standing orders and give us basis and justification for the referral,” he argued.

NDC National disrespectful Congress party. The lack of respect lead to your gloomy defeat. Continue to show that anytime, anywhere, and be in opposition till thy kingdom come. You do not walk out on your allowances. Walkout on your allowances for Ghanaians to know you have changed.
My noble brother Haruna,please slow down a bit. As a muslim, you have to be guided first by the Holy Quran and the sunna of the prophet (SAW).I watch the way you carry up yourself in your presentation,please be humble in your submission. I am not saying that you should not do your work as the minority leader but please, thread with caution.Thanks.
You can stay out of the Chamber TILL THY KINGDOM COME. Who cares. What valuable have you added to to our national discussions apart from being mischievous.
Ffoolish boy....haruna has become very arrogant !!
THE MINORITY CAN GO TO HEAL, WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR BOYCOTT? TWEAAAAA. AREN'T YOU ASHAMED OF YOURSELF?
If you like don't even come back, because Ghanaians do not see your contribution in the chambers, If the interest of the country is your heart, you would ve realize that the AMERI stinkkks, and the people involved must pay our monies back with interest.
And the Speaker Prof Ocquaye thought this 1mb£cile Haruna Idrisuand many of his NDC members Law at University of Ghana. In spite of all the support and effort given him to be a better student and a better person, Guess what Haruna did? He BL00DY PLAGIARI$ED his academic work.
