Police attack on MPs unreasonable – A.B.A Fuseini
The Member of Parliament for Sanerigu in the Northern Region, A.B.A Fuseini, says the decision of the Police to engage in a scuffle with some Members of Parliament at the EC headquarters was irrational.
A scuffle ensued between some members of the Minority in Parliament and the Police at the Electoral Commission (EC) Headquarters in Accra on Tuesday, 22nd December 2020.
The brawl followed a walk by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) members of Parliament from parliament to present a petition to the EC.
The MP’s were, however, prevented from going beyond a barricade around the Ridge Roundabout in Accra.
