The orientation organized for Member of Parliament in the ninth Parliament has been very beneficial as it is helping to address the persistent lack of quorum syndrome, Member of Parliament for Pru-East, Emmanuel Kwaku Boam has stated.
According to him leadership of the Majority has had series of meetings, and the whips are whipping their side in line to address the absenteeism that leads to the Minority most of the time raising issues of quorum.
In an interview, he pointed out that an MP can move out to look for opportunities for his or her constituents, but their constituents look forward to making sure they are duly represented on the floor of the House.
Furthermore, constituents might have their own definition to what an MP should do, they equally know that an MP is elected to be on the floor of the House to put forward their plights for actions on them.
“Whatever is supposed to be discussed on the floor, their voices should be heard. Inasmuch as government business needs not surfer, we equally have to be at the chamber. This week it has been okay, and I believe it’s going to continue, and leadership has taken a lot of strategic approach which I cannot disclose here”.
