Member of Parliament for Kumbungu Racks Mubarak has expressed worry over the delay in dealing with a question in his name that has taken almost three weeks for the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources to answer.
He noted MPs are judged by members of their constituency, on how issues affecting them are championed by their representative.
The Kumbungu legislator has filled questions which has to do with how water challenges in his constituency will be addressed and has appeared in the other paper for three weeks in running but the sector Minister, Joseph Kofi Adda has not had the time to come to the floor to address it.
According to Ras Mubarak some of the communities in his constituency are completely cut out of enjoying water and it is urgent something is done.
Majority leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu indicated that within the week it was impossible for the sector Minister to be in the House due to a commission activities he was engaged in, in Tamale.
He further indicated that he cannot give assurance that he will haul the Water Resources and Sanitation Minister to the House to take the question in his name.
I can announce to the House that he will do his best to get the Minister next week to address his question but can happily reveal to the House that the Minister is in Accra to answer the question in his name, he indicated.
