The deputy minority whip and MP for Banda, Mr Ahmed Ibrahim has called on Parliament to be very careful not to rush through the approval of lithium agreement for the benefit of Ghanaians.
He explained that, there have been several agitations and accusations by civil society organizations and other citizens calling for transparency in the lithium agreement; therefore Parliament must open its eyes on the consideration and approval of the agreement.
Mr Ahmed made these remarks when the minister for lands and natural resources, Mr Samuel Abdulai Jinapoh appeared before the House to lay the agreement but was not successful due to lack of quorum.
He further argued that the paper to be laid never came before the Business Committee; and the agreement was appearing before the Order paper agendum but the nation should be carried along with this agreement.
Additionally, he argued that time should be given to leadership of the Mines and Energy Committee to meet the sector Minister.
This forced the Speaker to suspend the House for less than an hour but when the House came back no Business was done before the House adjourned.
