The Speaker of Ghanaian Parliament Rt. Hon. Edward Doe
Adjaho today dismissed a motion filed by the Minority in the Parliament seeking
to impeach President John Dramani Mahama.
The Speaker threw out the motion
based on technical grounds on Thursday after the House was recalled from recess
for an emergency meeting.
Mr Adjaho in a show of his
powers rejected the motion and asked the Clerk of Parliament to return the
motion to the Member of Parliament (MP) who filed it.
He indicated that the matter was
already under investigations by a constitutional body, which is the Commission
on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
The Minority in Parliament filed
a motion seeking a Parliamentary investigation into the controversial ford gift
received by president Mahama from his Burkinabe contractor friend.
The group further wanted
Parliament to establish whether the president breached the constitution by
accepting the Ford gift and if it infringed the president’s own code of
conduct.
