The Chief Justice of Ghana has also been excluded from the regulation. We can remove ministers and MPs from this provision, but the republic has four key personalities: the President, Vice President, Speaker, and Chief Justice.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf I had my way, this LI would be reconsidered because leaving the Speaker and Chief Justice out of this privilege is inappropriate,\u201d Iddrisu stated.<\/p>\n<p>He further argued that the regulation should account for extraordinary circumstances, emphasizing the need for seamless leadership during crises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColleagues, when you consider an ordinary day, also think about an extraordinary day. In the event of a crisis in Ghana, we cannot afford a vacuum in our leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, laying an instrument before the House that denies the Speaker and Chief Justice the right to a motorcade and siren is untenable and wrong,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16744\"
