The Majority Leader and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu has accused the former Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho of controlling activities in Parliament despite gone on retirement.

He alleged that Doe Adjaho is still trying to control Parliament using the Minority Members of Parliament (MPs) as conduit.

Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu made the allegation on Thursday, July 27, 2017, when reacting to concerns raised by the Minority over the conduct of the Speaker of Parliament Prof. Aaron Michael Oquaye.

"I will tell you, the man [Hon. Doe Adjaho] is behind the scenes. He still wants to control Parliament. Do you know what happened yesterday? Yesterday, he even called them [NDC MPs] when we were meeting the Electoral Commissioner [Charlotte Osei] and told them they should not agree for us in the Committee of the Whole for you the press to be present. That man [Adjaho] thinks he is still in control," he alleged.

Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka  said the NDC MPs are not treated well and given the chance by Prof. Aaron Michael Oquaye to debate on national issues.

In the view of the Minority, the Speaker has been bias against them, cataloging a number of critical moments where the Prof. Oquaye has denied them to either voice out their displeasure or question ministers of state that appear before the legislature to answer to issues relating to their ministry.

Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka in an interview with journalists said "The day before yesterday, when we were doing the motion about the non urgency of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Bill, 2017 and the Zongo Development Fund, I stood up and if you noticed, for a long time he refused to call me. What I wanted to say was that the process we were using was wrong. Because the constitution under Article 106 (13) says that it has to be done by a committee but they wanted us to do was to ask the House whether they agree or not.

But the Majority Leader responding to the allegations by the Minority said, their actions were uncalled for.

He said if they [NDC MPs] had any concern with regards to the conduct of the Speaker, they should come with a substantive motion, referencing Order 93(5) of the Standing Orders of Parliament to buttress his point.

Order 93(5) of the Standing Orders of the House states that "The conduct of Mr. Speaker, Members, the Chief Justice and Judges of the Superior Court of Judicature shall not be raised, except upon a substantive motion, and in any amendment, Question to a Member or remarks in a debate on a motion dealing with any other subject, any reference to the conduct of the person mentioned shall be out of order."
