Minority MPs walkout after Muntaka accuses Speaker of lawlessness

The Minority in Parliament has walked out of the House after it’s Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak accused the Speaker of lawlessness.
This was after Prof. Mike Ocquaye refused to halt proceedings over lack of quorum.
The House was considering the Corporate Insolvency Bill with only about 60 MPs in the chamber out of 275.
One-third parliamentarians are needed to form a quorum.
Muntaka Mubarak says Prof. Mike Ocquaye’s decision not to halt proceedings amount to a shame.
He interrupted proceedings with his outburst after the Speaker refused to recognise him.
He said the Minority kept telling the Speaker the House does not have the numbers and thus they do not have the quorum but Prof Ocquaye carried on with proceedings.
