Four Ministers have been programmed to attend to the House to answer twenty-three questions next week.
They are the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulahi Jinapor, 6 questions ; Minister for Gender and Children Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, 3 questions; Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, 5 questions; Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, 5 questions; and Roads and Highways Minister, Kwame Governs Agbodza, 4 questions.
There are two urgent questions and twenty-one oral questions while Order 91 clause 2 makes provision for statement by the Ministers and Members of Parliament.
In a related development, the Second Deputy Speaker Andrew Asiamah has directed that the Minister of Energy and Green Transition should appear before the House on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 to outline measures the country is taking to have clean energy.
Debate on the Message of the State of the Nation Address (SONA) would start on Tuesday March 4, 2025.
Majority leader and Minority leaders would have forty minutes, other leaders would have twenty minutes and leadership of Committees would have fifteen minutes and MPs would have ten minutes.
The Business Committee could not reach consensus on the number of MPs to debate as the Minority insisted that the numbers should be equal from both sides while the Majority thinks otherwise, suggesting that it should be based on the numerical strength of each sides.
