Parliament House will tomorrow Tuesday 12th July 2011 have a full complement of Parliamentarians as it sits to commence business of the day.

With the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegates’ congress over, it is expected that the House would be full to capacity as the Parliamentarians return.

Sitting on Friday 8th July 2012 was adjourned due to the absence of the MPs on the majority side who had traveled to Sunyani for the NDC delegates’ congress that took place last weekend.

Business in the House last Friday was not very effective due to the absence of the majority side who were needed to take part in series of discussions on pressing issues that had been put before the house.

Several of the NDC Parliamentarians left for Sunyani on Thursday ahead of the congress which negatively affected business in the house.

The Majority Leader, who is also the MP for Zebilla, had to set aside the normal convention, by presenting the business statement for next week on Thursday due to the Sunyani congress.

The minority side had earlier complained that some MPs had abandoned their seats in Parliament and were busily engaging in campaign activities for the two competing factions, GAME and FONKAR.
