The Bawku Central constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Mahama Ayariga has described the suspension of the Upper West Regional Minister Sulemana Alhassan by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as ‘illegal and unconstitutional’.
According to him, the action by the President is not contemplated under the country’s constitution.
The lawmaker indicated that the President has goofed in suspending Mr Alhassan saying it should have been dismissal.
“It’s illegal, it is unconstitutional. It is not an action contemplated under our constitution. There is no provision in the constitution that empowers the president to suspend a minister. The president cannot suspend a minister, it should have been a dismissal.
‘If the President believes Sulemana Alhassan has done something wrong and needs to be sacked…he should go ahead and do so. I don’t think the Regional Minister being in office would have affected the investigations in any way. From an administrative perspective, the President has goofed. How can he punish person before investigating him,’ Mr. Ayariga told Francis Abban on Morning Starr.
The President on Thursday relieved the Regional Minister of his post after he was alleged to have asked the police not to arrest some New Patriotic Party (NPP) boys who raided NADMO office and assaulted the boss and the security man on duty.
