Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, has backed Speaker Alban Bagbin’s accusation that the Judiciary and Executive seem to be colluding to undermine the authority of Parliament.
The Speaker, in a press conference, raised serious concerns over what he described as interference and a growing power struggle between the two arms of government.
In an interview with 3FM Sunrise on November 7, the President of IMANI Africa argued that the Judiciary and Executive conspired to frustrate their petition in getting electorates in Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi, and Likpe (SALL) parliamentary representation.
“It should become clear to everybody now that this whole SALL thing was a deliberate conspiracy between the Executive and the Judiciary as well. If it is not true, they wouldn’t have conspired to prevent us from bringing our case to the Supreme Court. And after three years of going through the High Court, the judge sits and says I have no jurisdiction. Can you imagine? So, I think when Speaker Bagbin says the Judiciary and the Executive have conspired to undermine the legislature, it is so true, and this is a perfect classic example.” Franklin Cudjoe stressed.
The president of IMANI Africa further accused the Akufo-Addo-led administration of destroying the economy and environment.
“These guys have destroyed the economy, rivers, almost everything and now they even want to take the little freedom you have. What is this?” Franklin Cudjoe questioned.
He again indicated that he is willing to defend his stand no matter the consequences.
“As for SALL, if anybody invites me, I’ll tell them to their face that they were hypocritical and disrespectful in how they outrightly dejected us.
Speaker Alban Bagbin, speaking on Wednesday, November 6 2024, stated that the Judiciary and Executive’s recent actions directly challenge the powers of Parliament.
