Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has taken a swipe at the Majority side of the House in their delay in presenting the 2025 budget estimates and lists of re-composed delegation to the Pan African Parliament when the House met on Monday, March 24, 2025.
He states, “the 2025 budget estimate no show, lists of re-compose delegation to the Pan African Parliament no show, and a member to the Pan African Parliament in the eighth Parliament Collins Dawuda, who is in the chamber and want to represent Ghana at the continental Parliament looks sad”.
But the Minority Chief Whip’s comment did not go down well with the Asutifi South MP who pointed out that, he has always been happy in the past eight years even when he was being prosecuted.
“When it comes to approval of budget estimates, what has changed? When he was Majority whip in the eighth Parliament, it was same thing we should rather appeal and not satisfy the gallery”.
Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor on his part pointed out that since they have 24-Hour Economy, Members of Parliament should be prepared to work within the twenty-four-hour economy.
Hon Matthew Nyandam on his part stressed the need for welfare of MPs to be taken seriously, stating that sitting late into the night was not good for health of MPs more especially a government which claims its resetting.
“We should not sit beyond 10:00pm; if this was being done previously that is why we had the change and said we are resting so March 28, 2025 as the House goes on recess we should not sit late into the night”.
