Partisan behaviour of parliamentary clerk won’t be tolerated – Minority

Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, has cautioned against any display of political affiliation by the Clerk of Parliament.

According to him, some of the NDC Members of Parliament were marked absent even though they were seated during the deliberation on the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) on Tuesday.

The party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has already accused the Clerk of Parliament, Cyril Kwabena Nsiah of tampering with vital evidence to be used by the Minority in challenging the one-sided approval of the controversial bill.

Mr Asiedu Nketia argued that the Clerk who keeps the true records of the House, deliberately marked about eight NDC MPs as absent, in spite of the said MPs being present in the chamber.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin was also unhappy that the clerk was being classified in that light.

He, however, directed the table office to rectify the errors.
