Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei has described the Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Alban Bagbin's reaction to the ruling of the Supreme Court as totally ‘baseless’.

According to her, the speaker’s augments on the ruling are clearly devoid of fact but full of emotions.

In a post made by the Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry on Facebook, she maintained that Mr Bagbin’s position as Speaker of Parliament doesn’t warrant him the status to interpret the constitution of the country.

“Throughout his response, save for the mere mention of the Political Question doctrine, speaker Bagbin provides no legal basis for his disagreement. No law, no precedent, no persuasion. This, to a greater extent, does not portend and add to the advancement of the argument.”

“His disagreement, not backed by any legal argument is certainly not superior to the detailed legally reasoned position of the 7 Justices of the Supreme Court. Indeed Mr Speaker is not the one clothed with the power to interpret the constitution. The Supreme Court is.”

“I encourage all who are interested in this matter to take time to READ the ruling of the court and that of Speakers' statement side by side for an informed exposition,” portions of her post read.

She there urged the speaker not to insult the wisdom of the Supreme Court.

“How will the Speaker take it, if tomorrow, someone who also disagrees with him, choose to hurl unprintable words at him? Would it be proper for Members to also describe his positions as, say, goofy when we disagree with him?” She questioned.
