Opposition MPs Suspend Parliamentary Sessions Over Clerk of Parliament Dispute
The All People’s Congress Opposition Members of Parliament have officially suspended all parliamentary sessions following what they describe as the Speaker of Parliament’s failure to act on a critical issue within a promised timeframe.
The move comes after the Speaker Hon Solomon Segepoh Thomas reportedly did not address concerns raised by the Opposition regarding the Clerk of Parliament Hon Paran Tarawallie. According to sources within the Opposition, the Speaker had committed to resolving or responding to the matter within two weeks — a deadline that has now passed without any official action or explanation.
In a joint statement released earlier today, Opposition leaders accused the Speaker of undermining parliamentary accountability and transparency by neglecting to follow through on his promise.
The specific concerns surrounding the Clerk of Parliament have not yet been fully disclosed, but insiders suggest they relate to alleged procedural irregularities and administrative misconduct.
As of this report, the Speaker’s office has not issued a response. The suspension threatens to stall legislative processes and deepen the current political standoff within the House.
