A senior Ghanaian lawmaker has criticized the Speaker of Parliament's recent decision to suspend four MPs, calling it a threat to democracy.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi, spoke out against Speaker Alban Bagbin's actions following chaos at ministerial vetting sessions. In a Net2 TV interview on February 3, 2025, he warned the suspensions could set a harmful example.
"We are a nation of laws, not of men," said Oppong Nkrumah. "The decision to suspend the MPs should not be accepted. It opens the door for potential abuse of power. Such a decision could be used to suspend lawmakers over trivial matters, potentially to favor a particular government or to settle personal vendettas within the House."

Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini has rebuked Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin for publicly criticizing an Appointments Committee clerk.
The conflict emerged after Afenyo-Markin led a press conference on February 3, 2025, demanding the clerk's removal over claims of partisan behavior. Fuseini called the Minority Leader's actions immature and inappropriate for a parliamentary leader.
"Afenyo-Markin allowed his emotions to overcome him. There are known procedures for parliament to deal with such situations. As a leader of the House, you should explore the possibility of amicably resolving an issue rather than letting your emotions take over. It doesn't show leadership and maturity. You did that with impunity, and in...
Ghana's First Deputy Speaker of Parliament has accused Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin of orchestrating recent chaos during ministerial vetting.
Bernard Ahiafor claims Afenyo-Markin directed New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs on the Appointments Committee to disrupt proceedings on January 30, 2025. Speaking to JoyNews on February 3, Ahiafor said the Minority Leader issued orders before strategically leaving the scene.
"The Minority Leader played it smart and safe. I heard him asking them to do some of the things that they did. But when they were about to start, he left the room," said Ahiafor, who represents Akatsi South. He added that Afenyo-Markin instructed Jerry Ahmed Shaib to block MP Akandoh from taking his seat.

A legal challenge against Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama over a key appointment has been withdrawn.
The case centered on Mahama's selection of Anthony Kwasi Sarpong as Acting Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). Private citizen Emmanuella Sarfowaah filed the original suit but has submitted a notice to discontinue through her legal team at Collins Danso Law Chambers.
The lawsuit named three defendants: President Mahama (through the Attorney General), Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, and the GRA. Sarfowaah raised conflict of interest concerns about Sarpong's appointment, noting his position as Senior Partner at KPMG. The KPMG website listed him in this role as of January 26, 2025.
The plaintiff argued two main...
AMD Plans Graphics Card Event in February.
AMD might show its new graphics cards at the end of February. The company plans to hold a press event to share details about its RX 9000 series.
AMD's vice president, David McAfee, said earlier that these cards would reach stores in March. McAfee leads the company's client channel business.
Early reports point to two main models. The RX 9070 XT could include 4096 stream processors. This card might run at speeds up to 2970 MHz. The RX 9070 model may use 3584 stream processors, reaching 2520 MHz.
Both cards might offer 16 GB of video memory. They plan to use a 256-bit memory system running at 20 Gbps. The cards support PCI Express 5.0 connections.
These details remain unofficial. AMD has not...
G.SKILL Launches Fast Memory for New Computers.
G.SKILL revealed fresh DDR5 memory kits this week. One runs at 6800 speed with 32 CAS timing in a 96GB pack. The other hits 6400 speed with 28 CAS timing in a 32GB size.
Both kits work with Intel's XMP 3.0 system for faster speeds. The company tested them on recent Intel chips and ASUS boards. Long runs proved the memory stays strong under heavy use.
Buyers can choose from different sizes of the 6800 kit, from 32GB to 96 GB. The 6400 kit comes in one size, 32 GB. These choices fit different user needs.
The test team ran the memory hard to check its limits. They used both new and recent Intel systems. Charts show how well it handles heat and keeps working over time.
These memory kits...
RTX 5090 Graphics Cards Face Early Setup Issues.
Users report black screens with NVIDIA's new RTX 5090 graphics cards. The problem happens during driver setup on some computers with PCIe 5.0 connections.
Tech groups across China and other countries found the cards stop working after the driver is installed. The screens go dark, and computers cannot find the cards. Tests show this stems from how the cards work with PCIe 5.0 parts in certain computers.
The trouble starts when new drivers meet PCIe 5.0 systems. The fast data speeds from PCIe 5.0 clash with some computer boards. This causes the display to cut out during setup.
A fix exists. Users can change their computer settings to use PCIe 4.0 instead of 5.0. This slower but stable...
RTX 5090 Graphics Card Works Well with Less Power.
New tests show NVIDIA's RTX 5090 card can run on lower power in small computers. The card needs three 8-pin cables instead of its special power plug. This setup cuts power use from 575 watts to 450 watts.
German tech site ComputeBase found that games run just 5% slower at the lower power level. The card needs all three power cables to start up; two cables will not work.
Each 8-pin cable gives the card 150 watts of power. Three cables add up to 450 watts - less than the full 575 watts but enough for good performance. The card can also draw 75 watts through its slot in the computer.
Users who reduced power to 400 watts saw a 10% drop in speed. Most buyers prefer the 450-watt setting...
