I believe it will be followed suit by several African countries, Tanzania included, to move said quarters from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, because we believe where the parliament is &#8212; I am a speaker of parliament &#8212; then the government should be there and embassies should be there too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital, the speaker of Ghana&#8217;s parliament Prof Oquaye is reported to have said \u201cwhatever Israel wants, we in Ghana will go by that, because that is essentially an internal decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the speaker\u2019s reported comment, the Kumbugu lawmaker posted on Facebook: \u201cI hope the Speaker didn\u2019t say what he\u2019s been reported to have said but if the report is accurate, I would say it\u2019s simply disgraceful. Speaker of Parliament cannot be commenting on government\u2019s foreign policy. He\u2019s not a member of the Executive.
