Doe Adjaho on Thursday recalled the legislators who are on recess to consider the minority’s proposed motion invoking Order 38(1) of the Standing Orders of Parliament and Article 112(3) of the Constitution to support their action in an emergency sitting. The Majority in Parliament was of the view that the proposed motion was just acomplete waste of time and the country’s scarce resources. “I can tell you that a leading member of the Minority was carried from his sick bed and made to attend this emergency sitting which was a total waste of everybody’s time. Touch wood, if any MP died in an accident while journeying to Accra for this sitting, it would have really been a foolish death.
