The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has lifted the suspension on four lawmakers following the chaos that erupted during the vetting process last Thursday.
The speaker’s decision followed an appeal to him by the Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, to lift the suspension, a plea that was supported by the Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga.
The speaker, in his ruling on Tuesday, indicated that the affected MPs had shown remorse; hence, his decision to lift the embargo on them.
“As a father, when your son commits an offence, you don’t punish your son to the extent of breaking his leg,” Bagbin said.
”I will proceed to lift the suspension of the four Members of Parliament. The MPs who were affected can now return to the chamber or join sittings,” he added.
