Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia North and immediate past vice chairman of the Defense and Interior Committee, Collins Owusu Amankwah said to give a real meaning to democracy, government would be held accountable and responsible to the people.
According to the new chairman of the Government Assurance Committee, Collins Owusu Amankwah, the committee would track all promises and assurance given by Ministers from time to time.
“We would allow the law to take its course as we have in our standing orders, I believe the media would also help us discharge our duties”.
As to when an action of public hearing should be expected from the committee, he responded very soon, “I am in touch with the leadership to see how best we are going to prosecute our agenda”.
Again let me make this clear that in terms of scope of our operation it is not only limited to the plenary and outside Parliament, all the promises are being trucked.
“Our duty is to scrutinize and ask you how far you have gone with those promises”, the chairman told journalists in Parliament.
