Yes, that is what under normal circumstances should be the case, but what needs to be pointed out is the fact that the current structure of parliament which makes it more or less a blockade to the party in government can equally become a dangerous recipe for bribery and corruption.
First of all, the legislature has not been able to satisfactorily purge itself of the corruption perception the public has held about it over the years which has been underscored by some allegations by not just its own members but leading ones for that matter.
In 2008, former Member of Parliament (MP) for Esikuma-Odobin-Brakwa Constituency, Paul Collins Appiah-Ofori alleged that members on the then-Majority side (NPP) had been paid $5,000 each by the government to push forward the Vodafone deal.
