Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak is advocating that the Minister for Employment and Labour, Ignatius Baffour Awuah be hauled before the House to give figures on job loses post COVID-19 pandemic.
According to him, the Minister needs to do that to show impact of COVID-19 in the country, when the Majority Leader presented the Business Statement for this week. The Majority Leader in response to this question on the floor of the House as he presented the Business statement on Friday noted that the demand by the Kumbungu lawmaker is legitimate and he has had time to discuss it with the sector Minister. “In the fullness of time I believe he would come to the House, except to say this issue has nothing to do with the Business Statement that is presented on the floor of the House”, he said. Mr. Osei-Kyei further appealed to his colleagues to touch on statements he presented on the floor of the House and added that the Kumbungu lawmaker is found of introducing new things into the Business Statement most of the time, “he knows the process to follow”.
