The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision has dismissed a case filed by a private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai.
Justice Abdulai prayed the court to review its March 9 judgment which indicated that a Deputy Speaker even when presiding over parliamentary proceedings reserves the right to vote and can be counted as part of a quorum for decision making.
The Court presiding over by Justice Jones Dotse ruled that the Deputy Speaker of Parliament’s participation in voting was constitutional.
âThe application is accordingly dismissed,â Justice Dotse said.
The review case was heard by Justices Dotse, Nene Amegatcher, Prof Ashie Kotey, Lovelace Johnson, Mariama Owusu, Celemenfe Honyenuga, Gertrude Torkonoo, Prof. Mensah Bonsu and Emmanuel Kulendi
