Minority Leader Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin has mocked the Majority Members of Parliament for abandoning business on the floor of the House to chase for work at the presidency.

On Thursday, March 13, 2025, it took the Minority Leader to raise issues with the worrying practice of the Majority MPs abandoning business on the floor to compel the deputy whips to whip MPs on the Majority side to rush to the chamber to avoid issues of quorum.

“Mr. Speaker why are the Majority MPs making the work of the deputy whip comfort Doyoe very difficult, she is moving around to ensure that MPs come to the floor”, Afenyo queried.

On Friday, March 14, 2025, when the finance minister appeared before the House to lay some papers around 1:00pm only forty MPs from the Majority side were present in the chamber.

It is also said that some of the MPs have also abandoned the chamber only to monitor proceedings on the floor from their offices.
