A few days ago, Brazil’s senate voted to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office for manipulating the budget. Though this did not necessary give the Ghanaian minority in parliament a reason to try to impeach President Mahama, it surely must have given them some sort of hope in the last few hours.
However, the speaker of Parliament-Edward Doe Adjaho has single-handedly thrown out Minority’s motion which occasioned a recall of Parliament.
Mr. Doe Adjaho told the Minority New Patriotic Party (NPP) members to pursue the Ford Expedition case at the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice, (CHRAJ)–adding that various legal and constitutional provisions indicate that the body mandated to deal with such issues is the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice, (CHRAJ). 
He is reported to have said: “Ordinarily, having regard to standing order 79(4), I would have returned the motion to the member in whose name it stands as being inadmissible. But the motion was tied contemporaneously to the request for the recall of the house under standing order 38(1) which derives from article 123 of the constitution and therefore leaves me with no discretion in recalling the house. Standing order 79(4) also provides as follows: Every notice shall be submitted to Mr. Speaker who shall direct that it be printed in its original terms or with such amendments as he shall direct or that it be returned to the member submitting it as being inadmissible.”
He continued: “I am therefore unable to admit this motion. I hereby direct the clerk to return the motion to the member in whose name it stands in line with standing order 79 (4).”
Obviously, the Ford saga was the reason parliament was recalled, so after throwing it out, the speaker said: “Since this is the matter that has brought us here, I adjourned the House sine die.”
