Sam George honestly speaking you demonstrated to the world that common sense is better than qualification.You are future president of Ghana. May God Almighty continue to protect you from harm.
The stupidity here is you not understanding how the 3 branches of government work. Supreme Court cannot pass laws but it’s the sole body responsible for interpreting laws. Parliament which is the Legislature passes laws but it cannot interpret the laws. Get a book on democracies older than 100 years and you may learn a thing or two.
A simple question that can resolve the present controversy in Parliament in respect of the four vacation of parliamentary seats. Question: *When should a Member of Parliament vacate his seat. Is it during his present term in office or during his probable future term in office, should he win the future election?* Article 97 clause 1, paragraphs g and h of the constitution of Ghana. 1) A member of Parliament shall vacate his seat in parliament - (g) if he leaves the party of which he was a member at the time of his election to Parliament to join another party or seeks to remain in Parliament as an independent member; or (h) if he was elected a member of Parliament as an independent candidate and joins a political party. If it is argued that the member of parliament must not vacate his present seat but rather vacate a future seat if he probably wins a future election, then it would imply that, immediately he is declared a member of parliament in future, he must immediately vacate his seat, so that another election is organized for him to probably win again. This view would amount to causing other parliamentary candidates (including the political party candidates to contest the same elections twice) and to what end? If this view is upheld, it would also imply that a member of parliament who becomes the Speaker of Parliament, must not vacate his present seat in parliament but rather vacate a probable future seat in parliament. It would also imply that upon dissolution of parliament, members should vacate their probable future parliamentary seats. *Second follow-up question* In the context of this discussion, at which point, can it be conclusive that a member of parliament has either left his political party or joined a political party (if he was initially independent) ? *Answer to question two* The time of leaving the political party or joining one (if he was independent) occurs before the end of the present term of parliament. The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission is therefore reasonably conclusive as the time that he has left his political party or joined a political party (if he was independent). *Final question* Should a political party be the only one to report that a person is no longer a member of the party? *Answer* In this context, any citizen can point out or report a wrongdoing *Summary* Article 97 is clear that the parliamentary seat to be vacated is the present seat and not a future probabilistic seat. The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission contrary to his "present status in parliament" is therefore the reasonable conclusive evidence that a member of parliament has either left his party, or joined a party (if he was independent); *and must therefore vacate his seat with immediate effect*_
I think the moment you make your intentions known to the authority (eg: EC) through documentation, then your current seat has become vacant Is that not what the Law is pointing to??
It is interesting how a certain section sets its own question with answers. The Supreme court has no powers over the legislature, but has sole jurisdiction over interpretation of the constitution. When it clarifies the rules that becomes binding on all.
Common sense would dictate that you take steps to prevent a potential bloodbath considering the history of this Parliament. Some folks would like to thrive on chaos. Ghana will survive.
Host, Dzata is confused in his argument, Bagbin is confused in his declaration and Majority Leader is also confused in the mist, that is why the Supreme Court comes in to resolve the issue once and for all. All these parties are too partisan that is why we are here. Supreme Court is supreme and after this resolution the stubborn ones should cited contempt.
Then it's mean the police using the saying that goes: "anything that you say or do can will be used against you in a court of law". An attempt is also an act that proven your intention...
Truly, after Supreme ruling, this discussion on your show is in sequential. This Dzata guy needs another slaps with no response like it happened to him in Ayawaso.
Npp and supreme Court must no that Ghana is not like Iran control by Ayatollah kamemi the Islamic supreme leader of Iran the president of Iran has no power to rule Iran by himself
If these people are saying the next parliament then what if Almight God should come before Election 2024. Will they still vacate that seats?😂😂😂 These NPP people and patapaa singing ways.
I shudder when npp apparachiks who boycotted the writing of the constitution trying to explain the constitution. Do they have any idea of the spirit behind the letters of the constitution more than the people who wrote it?
The confusion our intellectuals is introducing 'future 'into the article. The MPs decided to change their political affiliations and decided to stay in parliament is wrong
From a common sense point of view. 1) the speaker cannot declare a seat vacant simply because an MP has decided to cross carpet to an opposition or become an independent MP. The spirit of this is visible in many countries when this happens. 2) if we are saying Ghana is different, then it is for the country's supreme Court to say so. 3) a party can sack an MP from its party but cannot sack them from parliament, because once elected as an individual by the people, only the people can choose another at another election. 4) Ghanas constitution does not explicitly say that a seat should be declared vacant should an MP cross carpet.. 5) are we saying all those MPs who lost their primaries and cannot participate on the ticket of their parties for the next elections are no longer MPs currently?
So are you saying you can hide under the ticket of a party to get what you want and dump the party?. You are a member of Parliament for a constituency in a ticket of a party or independence. If you go independence and win and you decide to join a party per common sense and logical reasoning it should be known to your voters and there should be a provision for them to endorse your stand. You cant just do it as you want and come back to seek for their votes again
There is no arm of government which is 100% independence. This means, you can use your position to bring your opponent down. What the supreme court had said is final. No one can change it. Anything that you say is like a spectator speaking.
Cmon sam george. You got the person at his neck. Yours was to relax and let the moderator do his talking not to reduce yourself to your follow npp mp. I was looking for civility towards the end and got none. It’s disrespectful to the moderator and the viewers
@@sylviaa.8257 some submissions are abit over your head so Its okay to take offense since this is beyond your limits. It is not about who did what and hence, no one mentioned the other mp because I did not expect that mp to behave civil giving his track record on tv. Sam George is a much better Mp with good camera skills. It is unbefitting then to behave like the other Mp. It is about being the bigger or better person here; something you wont understand giving your silly opinion
Politicians have a huge responsibility to lead by example. If ordinary citizens had followed the raucous behaviour of the opposition and lost their lives in an ensuing melee, that would've been needless and misguided leading.
Even JHS pupil knows the supreme court has no power over parliament , You praised them recently when it went in your favor (Ato Forson”s case) Today they are unanimous FC, Hypocrisy at it best umbrella ☂️ 😳
In Atto Forsen's case, AG was not having any evidence to support his case. But in this current case everybody including u knows that the court was totally doing an assignment for the NPP and President. But the court has rather worsen the case. At first place, the supreme court should hv thrown out the case and refer it to the high court.
Mr Sam! You are just making noise. The Supreme Court's ruling has power over whomever! The speaker may try to do something contrary if he dares. E.g. Why not call parliament into session under his misguided ruling to test the power of the constitution? Let him try!
Hahaha, you have not read the ruling. The Supreme Court didn't give any orders. They only interpreted and left it hanging. Which order has Supreme Court given? Mark it somewhere. This same NPP people will come and tell us one day that the Supreme Court was wrong when the same interpretation doesn't go their way, just like how today they are saying Mike Ocquaye was wrong 😂😂😂😂😂
Only stupid fools with a brain as small as that of an elephant would think that Supreme Court better understands the laws than parliament which made them. Npp fo) agyimifour
The loud and uninformed Sam George is at it again. In a Constitutional Democracy, the Judiciary makes the laws but the sole interpretation of the laws is left to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court cannot pass laws, the reverse is the Judiciary cannot interpret it’s own laws…that’s a conflict of interest that democracies around the world avoid. Sam George is very boisterous and lacks basic understanding of the tenets of a democratic system.

Great Submission from Sam George! Thumbs Up to you Elder!
POWERFUL SUBMISSION BOSS SAM

Common sense is respecting the law of the land even when you disagree and unfortunately Sam George is not.

It's stupidity to think that the SC understand the law than parliament who makes the laws. NDC remains majority in parliament, period

Sam George has really dropped a High Bars..❤
Just remove her from office when you get into power
Hahahah nice talk...
Sam George, great of wisdom much ❤
It's really a shame via the Supreme Court alongside Chief Justice Tohoku 😕 😞
Powerfull Sam George 💪🏼
Thanks for this update ❤
Brilliant submission! 🔥🔥🔥
A simple question that can resolve the present controversy in Parliament in respect of the four vacation of parliamentary seats.
Question:
*When should a Member of Parliament vacate his seat. Is it during his present term in office or during his probable future term in office, should he win the future election?*
Article 97 clause 1, paragraphs g and h of the constitution of Ghana.
1) A member of Parliament shall vacate his seat in parliament -
(g) if he leaves the party of which he was a member at the time of his election to Parliament to join another party or seeks to remain in Parliament as an independent member; or
(h) if he was elected a member of Parliament as an independent candidate and joins a political party.
If it is argued that the member of parliament must not vacate his present seat but rather vacate a future seat if he probably wins a future election, then it would imply that, immediately he is declared a member of parliament in future, he must immediately vacate his seat, so that another election is organized for him to probably win again.
This view would amount to causing other parliamentary candidates (including the political party candidates to contest the same elections twice) and to what end?
If this view is upheld, it would also imply that a member of parliament who becomes the Speaker of Parliament, must not vacate his present seat in parliament but rather vacate a probable future seat in parliament.
It would also imply that upon dissolution of parliament, members should vacate their probable future parliamentary seats.
*Second follow-up question*
In the context of this discussion, at which point, can it be conclusive that a member of parliament has either left his political party or joined a political party (if he was initially independent) ?
*Answer to question two*
The time of leaving the political party or joining one (if he was independent) occurs before the end of the present term of parliament.
The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission is therefore reasonably conclusive as the time that he has left his political party or joined a political party (if he was independent).
*Final question*
Should a political party be the only one to report that a person is no longer a member of the party?
*Answer*
In this context, any citizen can point out or report a wrongdoing
*Summary*
Article 97 is clear that the parliamentary seat to be vacated is the present seat and not a future probabilistic seat.
The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission contrary to his "present status in parliament" is therefore the reasonable conclusive evidence that a member of parliament has either left his party, or joined a party (if he was independent); *and must therefore vacate his seat with immediate effect*_
I think the moment you make your intentions known to the authority (eg: EC) through documentation, then your current seat has become vacant
Hahaha
Unanimous FC in my mind 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Sam George all the way....
This same judgement will bite the NPP in the future.
Sam Gyata George has completely Murdered & destroyed Tukonu, the chief justice to the stupor. Kudos Hon. May you live long for Ghana 🇬🇭 🙏 ❤️
Exercise patients for my Auntie wai, she is under pressure.😊
By the way, the name is CJ Torkornoo, thanks .
Lawyer Vincent Ekow has suffered with this matter o😂😂
NPP never again Toffiakwa 😒 😑
Showing intention doesn’t give you a seat 😂😂
The supreme Court has NO supremacy over the parliament of Ghana....wow...
Sam Gyata George,ah ah ah. You are too Good.
What is wrong with this Atefuah man .,these Ekow man.Oooo.some politicians are really partisan.Hmmm.
I think the moment you make your intentions known to the authority (eg: EC) through documentation, then your current seat has become vacant
Is that not what the Law is pointing to??
Jm is winning massively with 54 percent
The Supreme Court constituency of the NPP
Is EKow the Host of the program? Nonsense
Shameless fool! Try and remove that useless political lens from your eyes and you’ll understand what sam is saying!
How 😂 can one person hold two flags whiles you know clearly that you suppose to hold one flag 🚩 this is common sense 😅
I love the word common sense 😅😅😅😅😅😅
It is interesting how a certain section sets its own question with answers. The Supreme court has no powers over the legislature, but has sole jurisdiction over interpretation of the constitution. When it clarifies the rules that becomes binding on all.
A dissenting judgement in a court ruling is not the Ratio they will remain with dissenting voice but that is the Judgement.
Parliament and supreme court are two independent entities.
That law is quite clear and simple to understand. What was the supreme court interpreting?
Common sense would dictate that you take steps to prevent a potential bloodbath considering the history of this Parliament. Some folks would like to thrive on chaos. Ghana will survive.
That smile from Martin Kpebu! lol
I can see Kwame Nkrumah and Gaddafi soul im Sam😢
Make ndc push this man after Jm nd aswerrrr igo vote for him
Martin dey funny me self 😅😅😅😅😅, he said what’s his argument 😊
They should speak this in twi la
it is not an evolved language for deep matters of law

Please Sam George are you a lawyer? Your submission is more sensible than the so called SC or Stupid court. Kudos Sam George
Yes he is.

Stüpid comment from an Npp foot soldier. No wonder you are an Npp supporter. Brain 🧠 and shit 💩 mixed together will prevent you from reasoning
Be there and speak English, let the speaker come and declare nonsense and let's see.
They cannot make a single submission without using insults. Very sad 😮
Ekow, keep quite and listen cos you don't know anything just like me.
😂😂eei God! Peddling misinformation paaaa nieee! Masa, you’re not making any sense.
