The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Johnson Asideu Nketia is currently at parliament house and set to hold a crunch meeting with the minority side in parliament.

“I have been angered by the actions of the speaker so I drove early this morning from Oyarifa to this place waiting for my Chairman to join me for us to meet with the minority to thank them for staging a walk-out after their views were suppressed yesterday”, he revealed on Okay Fm.

Mr Asiedu Nketia said the minority deserve a pat in the back for the bold decision they took and that his presence in parliament is to urge them on to embark on similar moves in the future.

The Minority on Tuesday staged a walk-out protesting the Speaker’s decision to refer a motion for a rescission of the $510m AMERI power deal to the Mines and Energy Committee for consideration.

Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu was seen furiously gesticulating at his opposite number after the Speaker had shot down his objections to a motion on the AMERI deal.

The minority is accusing the speaker of showing bias towards them and trying to suppress their views on the floor of parliament indicating that it informed their decision to stage a walk-out.
