‘What kind of kangaroo court is this?’ – Minority reacts to Kpandai election rerun
“Members of this side at the time, mainly led by the now Minority Leader, spoke vociferously against the fact that the Honourable Gyakye Quayson cannot be entertained in this House. Eventually, he had to leave. This is a path that we have travelled. Precedent has been set and laid. Nobody can tell us in this House today that the Honourable Nyindam must have a voice today. It won’t happen.”
