Despite the absence of the Member of Parliament for Nanton, Mohammed Hardi Tuferu, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, claims that nothing illegal occurred during the passage of the contentious revenue bills.
On his way to Parliament on Friday to vote on the financial bills under consideration, the MP was involved in an accident.
The MP was driven to the house in an ambulance, and the Speaker directed the Whips on both sides of the house to confirm the situation.
After the proceedings, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin explained why the legislator was counted as part of the votes.
“Members who are incapacitated shall be recorded upon reporting their incapacity to the Speaker through the Clerk.” We have some incapacitated members, so I asked the Whips to go and physically see them to assess their incapacity and whether they are of sound mind.”
“I didn’t do anything wrong.” “All I did was follow the rules.”
