The Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has lifted the suspension on the four lawmakers who were suspended for the mayhem caused during the vetting exercise last week.
The speaker’s decision followed an appeal to him by the Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Marin to lift the suspension, a plea which was supported by the Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga.
The speaker in his ruling on Tuesday indicated that the affected MPs had shown remorse hence his decision to lift the embargo on them.
“As a father, when your son commits an offence, you don’t punish your son to the extent of breaking his leg” Bagbin said.
” I will proceed to lift the suspension of the four Members of Parliament. The MPs who were affected can now return to the chamber or join sittings,” he added.
“To whom much is given much is ex[pecyted, ” he added.
