There is heightened security in Parliament to prevent the four Members of the House who were suspended by the Speaker from entering the chamber ahead of Tuesday’s sitting.
The four lawmakers were suspended for two weeks by the Speaker, Alban Bagbin, for their involvement in a violent confrontation during the vetting of ministerial nominees on Thursday, January 30, at the Appointments Committee sitting.
As the House gears up for proceedings to commence at 12 noon, there is a heavy police presence with barricades mounted at various sections of Parliament.
Meanwhile, the Minority is protesting the suspension of their members.
Clad in red and black, they chanted patriotic songs demanding the reversal of Speaker Alban Bagbin’s “unilateral” decision.
