Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak has wondered if Speaker Prof Mike Oquaye sees the chamber as his political science lecture hall and the MPs as his student who cannot question his actions.
Mr Mubarak said this on Class91.3FM’s 505 news programme on Tuesday, 1 August 2017 vis-à-vis the Minority side’s concerns that the Speaker is gagging them in the chamber.
“It is very unfortunate that we have to come to that. Sometime last week, we had virtually about the same kind of problem and raised our concerns on the floor in a very boisterous manner thinking that that will help the Speaker appreciate it and probably call a detailed meeting of the leaders so that we all agree on how to go around things but it’s clear that the Speaker has made his mind.
“In fact, since that Thursday he has shown more, he has even shown he really doesn’t care and he will continue to do as he pleases regardless of the rules of the house and the concerns that the Minority will continue to raise and it’s very unfortunate that as somebody who has written so much about parliament, has been a Member of Parliament before, sometimes I doubt whether he thinks that he is in a political science classroom where he talks to students and nobody will have the right to question anything that he does. I think that doesn’t auger well for our democracy,” Mr Mubarak stated.

CLASSROOM SPEAKER NO 1
the speaker behaves like he has not been in parliament before tweaaa. ahahah i laugh enter the parliament classroom
ndc has been taken over by these northerners and a few ewes because that is where they get their chunk of votes from. where are the gas and the fantes? slowly slowly the party will collapse due to this arrogants inexperience politicians. being in parliament for long doesn't automatically makes a good politician. ***barred word***!!!!!
And this comedy called parliament and its minority wants Ghanaians to take them serious. If such a w0rthl£$$ f00000l like muntaka can make such calls then Ghana is in big trouble. We've had by far the most inc0mpet£nt, partisan and bias speaker of parliament not only has Ghana seen but in the entire world in the person of Edwin Doe Adjaho and even the Npp minority paid him respect and Ghana tolerated him. I pray and long for the day that one day a very sensible, courageous soldier will rise up and kick this apology of a democracy we pretend to observe in Ghana. The last person I expected to say something like this is dishonorable muntaka kyin kyin ga.
Am very sad, muntaka should be very careful in life, his brother is portraying the same attitude at Knust and one day will be a bad day for them, infact no condition is permanent in this world. God forgive them.
These criminal NDC f000lisshh MPs are very rude..... I can see Muntaka losing his Asawase seat in the next elections.
