The Minority in Ghana’s Parliament has challenged the flag bearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia to a debate on the floor of the House.
According to them instead of calling on the flag bearer of the opposition John Dramani Mahama for a debate he should rather come to the floor of the House for that debate.
On Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at a press conference addressed by the first Deputy Whip Ahmed Ibrahim expressed worry that for quite some time unusual of the Vice President he no longer comes to the floor of the House during presentations of supplementary and mid-year budget review.
Rather surprising, instead of the Vice President, the Attorney General was rather on the floor of the House when the mid-year budget review was being presented and was sitting in the chair usually occupied by the vice president.
And they the Minority are throwing a challenge to him for a debate on the floor of the House where people with all shape of opinions and expertise on the various sectors of the Ghanaian economy would be present, unlike his usual lecture series he organizes.
“When was the last time you heard Dr. Bawumia on his usual lectures? On the floor we have mixture of people with expertise and people representing Ghanaians where you cannot go and lie, you would be found out. He should come to the floor for debate and stop calling for debate”.
