There is a way that seems right in the eyes of man; but the end leads to destruction. This exact scenario, according to the Minister of Information appears to be the lot of Members of Parliament on the Minority side. Hon. Mahama Agyariga labeled the minority�s decision to accuse the Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Doe Adjaho of bias after he prevented the House from debating the sale of Merchant Bank to Fortiz, as an uncouth act which was alien to the august body. Speaking on Joy FM�s News File show, the minister stated that the NPP�s press conference was regrettable and was organized purposely to attack the integrity of Hon. Doe Adjaho. According to him, a former late Speaker of Parliament, Peter Ala Adjetey had previously warned and advised the House not to subject its leader to public ridicule after ruling on a matter. But this golden advice, according to Hon. Agyariga seems to have fallen on deaf ears and spurred the minority MPs to err. He appealed to the NPP to note the distinction between the past circumstance surrounding the speaker�s current decision to prevent the house from deliberating on the matter because it is in court and the current.
