The Member of Parliament for Asunafo South, Hon. Eric Opoku has stated that the speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Aaron Oquaye neglected constitutional issues that were raised by the Minority in Parliament regarding an urgent motion filed by MP K.T. Hammond on the $510million controversial AMERI deal.
Speaking to an Accra based Class FM Mr Opoku explained that When the Speaker gave room for the motion on the AMERI deal filed by K.T. Hammond, the Minority leader raised constitutional issues regarding the move of the motion which was ignored.
“The Minority leader was saying that because the Supreme Court has ruled over that matter and also because the government is yet to conclude its probe into the deal, it will not be appropriate for Ghana’s democracy that this issue will be discussed on the floor of Parliament until we get the government’s position. It is the government’s position that will show the proper remedy to cure whatever is wrong with that AMERI deal.
