NCCE urges Parliament to apologize to Ghanaians for inauguration chaos
The National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE) has called on Parliament to apologize to the nation for the chaotic developments that blighted the election of its Speaker on Thursday, January 7, 2021.
The Commission says it will be in the best interest of Parliament to do.
The Commission made this known in a press statement issued on Monday, January 11, 2021, signed by its chairperson, Josephine Nkrumah.
“The NCCE urges Parliament to purge itself from this blemish by rending an unqualified apology to Ghanaians and take steps to investigate why the military was deployed to invade the chamber,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, it has also described what happened in the chamber as “detestable and disgraceful.”
“The unnecessary drama that characterized the proceeding of the inauguration of the 8th Parliament of the Fourth Republic is unconstitutional, disgraceful, detestable, and smacks of indiscipline.”
The Commission, however, called for sanctions to given to all who played a role in what ensued on the day.
“The Commission urges Parliament to apply sanctions appropriately to serves as to others and electorate generally.”
