Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Majority side of the House on the Government Assurance Committee on Monday, October 7, 2024, did not show up for the public hearing of the Minerals Commission when they appeared before the Committee.
According to Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Yiadom Henry Boakye he was a bit taken aback when he noticed that not a single member of the Majority side of MPs showed up at the Committee’s public hearing.
Previously the Majority side of the House chaired the Government Assurance Committee until the new Standing Order came into implementation, which has now reverted to the Minority side chairing the Committee and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is the new chairman of the Committee.
“I ask the chairman of the Committee same question, and Hon Samule Okudzeto Ablakwa said the clerk posted the meeting over the weekend with the hope that members will be at the committee meeting. So, chairman will be in the best position to answer this question whether he was called that they cannot make it and have taken permission”, he stated.
When Ghanamps.com contacted the chairman of the Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, he indicated that his colleagues on the Majority side on the Committee, did not give any indication that they will not be coming, and he was expecting that they will show up for them to do their work as a committee.
