Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh of the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) has said 275 Member Parliament is too hung a number for Ghana’s economy, considering expenses needed to make MPs effective and the state of the economy.
According to Professor Prempeh to boost performance of it should not be needlessly expensive, despite the saying that democracy is “expensive”.
He made this remarks when he represented Coalition of Civil Societies in Ghana, at panel a discussion on the topic “Parliament in Retrospective” at a symposium to mark the 25 years of parliamentary democracy.
Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh said he has had a lot of engagement with Parliamentary Committees and does not understand the “logic” of the committee moving out of Accra a lot of times for events .
“That is a cost that we can cut down, we have to rethink how to allocate resources”.
