The Minority in Parliament have reiterated their resolve to discharge their duties in Parliament without fear or favour.
This is coming at a time members of the minority are accusing the Speaker of Parliament of bias and unfair treatment.
Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, presenting his concluding remarks at the end of the second meeting of the current session of Parliament on Wednesday, told the house that they will still offer responsible and constructive opposition.
He however pointed out that irrespective of their firmness, the minority will be magnanimous in supporting government policies for the good of the country where it is necessary. He stated clearly that they will not be intimidated in the pursuit of that endeavour .
Haruna Iddrisu touched on the recent disagreement and conflict which characterized the house in the last few days before recess, indicating that the right of the minority to have its say should be respected even if the majority will have its way.
The Minority Leader observed that the people of Ghana expect that his side keeps an eye on public concerns and matters of public interest. Nonetheless, on behalf of the minority he pledged their unflinching support to the Speaker Aaron Mike Oquaye as chair of the house to maintain order but urged the Speaker to safeguard their ‘right of say’ as the Chair of the house.
“It will be wrong for anybody to use the happenings of the day in Parliament to measure and rule unfairness”, he remarked. The leader also indicated that the Parliamentary question time remains an important instrument of oversight.

why you NPP supporters talk in a violence manner. you people should respect and change for the better. you will account for your dirty talks one day at a time.
Whether you discharge your duties without fear or favour who cares? Nobody is threatening you but your own shadows. NPP in opposition got worst mistreatment than you but they never talked because of the love of this country. Ndc after ste*ling from us and showing gross incompetent and arrogance expect to be pampared and it will never happen,Ghana's parliament is not a market place to show who is tougher and hard , parliament is for people who can think outside the box to help build a nation not for bitterness and hate, not for pull him because we are in opposition, not for loud noise makers with no substance but people with sense,knowledge and wisdom who can predict the future from the past, people with great foresight not dummies. Ghana deserve better not the type of ndc parliamentarians, even independent mps will think far better than these nation wreckers who are thinking of importing terrorists to visit mayhem on Ghanaians for voting them out and putting them jobless from ste*ling from the state. They think bringing terrorists will stop the government from prosecuting and jailing them for the harm done this nation. There shouldn't be any kids gloves treatment on anyone of them found wanting. They are wicked,callous and very dangerous to the existence of Ghana. The Ghana security must must be alert of the enemies within our nation.
