I was stunk by the press conference held by the Minority Caucus of Parliament of Ghana today on their call for the resignation of the First Gentleman of the Land. A panoramic view indicates how the Minority has lost its relevance in providing a competitive and constructive criticism.
With the nominal mandate of making laws for our democratic environment; the onus devolves on the Minority to have come under any Constititional provisions or any enactment or Order that shows the President has violated and hence the call for his resignation. Article 11 of the 1992 Constitition apparently showcase the laws of Ghana in such a stratified manner and the Minority in their attempt to call for resignation of the President failed woefully to enumerate any statutory or Constititional provisions that warrants the resignation of the President over the alleged implicate of the President in the unfounded investigative piece by Manaseh Azure.
It’s obvious that such mischevous and scaremongering acts by the Minority is a clear traverse to rule of law. It smacks intelligence and all form of human reasoning for the Minority to ask the President to resign from such Office entrusted by the good people of Ghana. No where in their confab were they able to raise any legal issue against the Sitting President! Assuming for purposes of argument sake, that their Confab should hold water; what does Article 57 of our Constitution clearly says and under what exceptions on Article 57 will make the President liable for their unfounded claim. As Honorable Members of Parliament,the onus now lies on them to proof any substantiated violation(s) that should make the President of the Republic resign.
