Annoh-Dompreh Smuggled into Parliament to Occupy Majority Side – Agbodza Alleges
The Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Adaklu, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has alleged that Majority Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, was clandestinely smuggled into Parliament during the early hours of Tuesday, October 22, 2024, in violation of official protocols.
Speaking in an interview on Citi FM, Agbodza claimed that Annoh-Dompreh was granted unauthorized access to the Chamber before the official opening time, despite a circular issued on Monday, October 21, 2024, which stipulated that the doors to the House would be opened at 8:00 a.m.
"Parliament issued a circular that the Chamber be opened at 8 am, yet the security apparatus of this country connived and opened the doors for Annoh-Dompreh to enter the Chamber. I am here, and I see him inside with the doors locked. The question is, how did he get in there?” Agbodza remarked.
The Adaklu MP further warned that if any disturbances occur during the day’s proceedings, the NPP MPs and Parliament's security personnel should be held accountable.
Parliament's session on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 has been highly anticipated, with many wondering whether the Speaker will comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling to stay the declaration of some four seats vacant.
"We have also given the strongest indication that we will occupy the Majority side of the House and the orderliness in the Chamber and the precinct of Parliament lie in the bosom of the Speaker," Annoh Dompreh reacted to Agbodza's claim.
