The Parliament of Ghana has suffered another indefinite adjournment having been recalled from similar situation under an emergency recall at the behest of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Group in parliament.
As at the commencement of sitting on 7th November, 2024, the House was without the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority.
The NDC group as per their earlier stand rightfully assumed the Majority group ready for the day’s business.
The Speaker said it was unfortunate that the signatories to the request for the recall were absent from the House, “therefore matters that they wanted us to handle which were admitted for the consideration of the business committee are not on the Order Paper”.
And like the previous instance, “the House had quorum to sit, but we have no business before us to transact because the Business Committee as you know they prepare a report, and this report is adopted by the House as business agreed by the House to transact during the course of the week”.
In the absence of that, he said there is no other authority that can put business before you which you have not adopted to transact.
“In view of the failure of the business committee to sit, as a result of those who requested for the recall to show up, we are compelled to once again adjourn the sitting of the House.
Knowing the challenges we are facing, it is not advisable to be adjourning from day to day, and so I will proceed once more to adjourn the meeting indefinitely and the meeting, this extra ordinary meeting is accordingly adjourned.”
