Inusah Fuseini, a member of Tamale Central's parliament, said that President Akufo-Addo should not prevent the legislature from pbading the bill on vigilance and other related violence.
The opposition parliamentarian said Parliament should be allowed to use its procedures to pbad the bill.
Parliament was called back for an emergency session to consider the bill, but it was set aside.

Speaking recently at a meeting with anti-corruption groups in the presidency, President Akufo-Addo said he was determined to pbad the bill by the end at the latest of the month of June.
"This [Vigilantism and other related violence Bill] It is not something that will have to last for months and years. This is something that we hope by the end of June or at the latest, we will have a significant law on the signed table, "he said.

However, the president's comment appears to have angered Inusah Fuseini, who is also the first member of the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs.
Parliament is not an extension of the executive, he said fiercely Tuesday in Top Story on Joy FM.
"The president does not have to give Parliament a timetable on how it should do its job. He should focus on his affairs as president and leave Parliament alone to do his job, "he told News Anchor, Emefa Apawu.
He explained that the initial process for pbading the bill was truncated when it was set aside and asked to work on the Companies Bill. That means they should go back and start the process again, he said.
"The executive who introduced the bill in Parliament now belongs to Parliament … and parliamentary institutions and procedures will be used to get it pbaded," he added.
According to the legislator, the draft law, in its current form, "lacks structural clarity in many respects", while it "violates certain provisions of the Constitution".
"We need to look at all these things," he said, adding that it was necessary to involve stakeholders to ensure that the law was adopted in accordance with the 1992 Constitution.
If "the president says that he should not be stamped, Parliament should not be too," he said.
