Alliance For Accountable Governance is calling for an immediate independent investigation into the incidents during the night of electing Ghana's speaker of parliament.

The complete breakdown of law and order which resulted in several hours of chaotic scenes during the night was defined as possibly the worst incident in the Chamber of Parliament of the Republic of Ghana.

Footage from the overnight confrontation showed numerous pockets of free-for-all brawls between NPP and NDC members which disrupted the nightlong program.

Speaking to the General Secretary, Mr. Arnold Boateng, the assault on a female MP who was forcefully shoved off the chair, snatching and chewing of ballot papers by Honorable Carlos Ahinkrah, Kicking of ballot box and polling booths by Hon. John Jinapor, Unruly behaviour of Honorable Muntaka and others must be condemned and probed.

AFAG does not expect Parliament to conduct an impartial investigation so it must appoint an independent body to conduct the investigation into its misconduct.

Per their expectations, the investigation should further address the issue of the deployment of heavily armed military men into the Chamber of Parliament and would want to know who sanctioned the deployment and for that purpose.

The investigation should recommend the appropriate sanctions for all actors. The sanction should be in line with the standing orders of Parliament and the laws of the land. The honour and dignity of Parliament are at stake.
