The Commission of Inquiry on the creation of New Regions in the country has planned to brief Members of Parliament from the four Regions that would be affected on Friday May 18, 2018 midday.
MPs from the Brong Ahafo, Northern, Volta and the Western Regions are supposed to meet the Committee of Inquiry to be briefed at Job 600 D. F. Annan conference room.
Member of Parliament for Yagaba/Kubori Abdul-Rauf Tanko Ibrahim had pleaded with the Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu to reconsider the midday time for the briefing.
In an interview with ghanamps.com, the Yagaba/Kubori law maker revealed that he is in touch with the Majority Leader and by Thursday they should resolve the time issue as most of the MPs from the North are Muslims and will be going for prayers around that time.
The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs on his part said the Regions would not be taken concurrently, MPs from the North who are Muslims could go for their Friday prayers and come back to the House for the briefing.
“Mr. Speaker we will find an appropriate way around the issues that he had raise but we could start with MPs from the Volta Region”.
