“The president’s personal conclusion that something is illegal is not legally valid in the absence of a ruling by the Supreme Court. In his speech on Friday, Bagbin stated, “It is a break from the established legal procedure, norms, and practices that govern our constitutional democracy.”
He underlined that the President might legitimately request judicial review from the Supreme Court if there were real doubts about the legislation’s constitutionality.
“The steps taken by the President in this matter reflect a misunderstanding of the constitutional process and undermining the principles that uphold our democratic governance,” Bagbin said.
