Former President John Dramani Mahama, on Tuesday February 27, vacated the chamber of Parliament briefly to meet the Minority who threatened to boycott the SONA.

The minority MPs protested over President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s refusal to sign the Private Member’s Bills.

They are yet to appear in the chamber of Parliament although President Akufo-Adoo and all other dignitaries including former President John Mahama are in the Parliament for the address.

Komla Kluste reported that the opposition lawmakers also protested the stay of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana Dr Ernest Addison in office after he called them ‘hooligans’.

The bills that the president refused to assent to were; Criminal Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2023, Criminal Offences (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, 2023, and Armed Forces (Amendment) Bill, 2023.

Speaker Bagbin indicated that the President’s decision not to sign the three private member’s bills demonstrated his misunderstanding of the constitutional processes in the country.

“Absence of a judicial determination from the Supreme Court, the President’s unilateral assessment of unconstitutionality does not hold legal water. It is a departure from the established legal procedure, norms, and practices that govern our constitutional democracy.

“The appropriate lawful response if there were genuine concerns about the constitutionality of the legislative action of this house would have been to seek judicial review from the Supreme Court.”

“During our conversation, I raised specific constitutional concerns regarding these bills related to Article 108 of the Constitution, particularly the nature of these bills which were introduced into Parliament as private members’ bills rather than being presented by me or on my behalf….”

“As I indicated the content of these bills have my support, but we need to ensure that they are enacted in line with established constitutional and legislative process. After thorough consideration and in light of the constitutional issue I pointed out during our meeting, I am unable to assent to these bills.

“The concerns raised are significant and have profound implications for the constitutional integrity of these legislative actions. Any legislation we pass must be in complete alignment with the provisions of our Constitution. I intend to have these bills reintroduced in Parliament on my behalf in due course,” he added.

Regarding the Ghana Armed Forces Amendment Bill, President Akufo-Addo, in the letter indicated his inability to sign after citing financial implications on the state’s Consolidated Fund and potential breaches of Article 108 of the Constitution as reasons for his refusal.
