Lawyer Clinton Amanda: “Both sides were probably actively looking for defectors so who knows what will come our if Parliament decides to have an inquiry in relation to this matter.”
“The former minority chief whip is in a position of authority and honour therefore we would not expect him to make such acusations without evidence. If he has the evidence he should provide it in the public interest. Recorded phone calls, call time stamps, testimony of the MP etc.”
“Parlaiment is in a position to set up an inquiry as to allegations of bribery for the Speaker position but who knows if both major sides will be unwilling to because of what may come out in terms of their active efforts to seek out defectors on the other side of the floor”
“Given that the Ndc’s presidential candidate is going to court, seeking the Supreme Court to decide on the matter of a possible re-election, it is in the public interest that all evidence in relation to accusations against a supreme court judge is brought out in the public domain. ”
“When Parliament resumes the leaders of Parliament and the Speaker may decide to embark on a sensitisation exercise within Parliament to restore public confidence in Parliamrnt following the fighting scenes we all witnessed on the day the Speaker was elected. Most Parliamentarians on both sides fail to remember their position when speaking freely in public so maybe they will embark on exercises to remember their standing and how to comport themselves publically.”
Lawyer Clinton Amanda: “Although an unprecedented amount of Supreme court judges have been appointed in the last two years by one party, the Supreme court panel is seen as beyond reproach and are highly respected. Only evidence of alleged inappropriate behaviour will suffice in this matter”
