A former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central and former Minister for Roads and Highways, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, says he is not surprised at the Supreme Court’s ruling on the right of Deputy Speakers to vote in Parliament.
Private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, filed a review application on the right of Deputy Speakers to vote in Parliament.
The review application filed by Justice Abdulai was dismissed on Tuesday April 26 on grounds that it was “unmeritorious”.
In an interview with press men at the Supreme Court after the dismissal of his review application, Justice Abdulai explained that he didn’t want a situation where posterity will question the Minority as to why they didn’t take the small window of opportunity that was available to us for a possible review of the decision of the of the Supreme Court on the 9th of March.

“I think we have to move on as a nation. What I didn’t want was the situation where posterity will question us as to why we didn’t take this small window of opportunity that was available to us for a possible review of the decision of the of the Supreme Court on the 9th of March.
“I think posterity will judge our call in the positive light that we did everything we ought to have done to get the sort of judgement that we needed but this is what the Supreme Court says and we all have to live by that,” Justice Abdulai told press men.
Speaking on Atinka FM’s AM Drive with host Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, who had earlier indicated that the case was a difficult one, revealed that the outcome did not come as a surprise to him.
According to Inusah Fuseini, the review application filed by Justice Abdulai did not meet the threshold that determines whether or not the ruling in the first application led to a “miscarriage of justice”
