Parliamentary sitting today Friday 8th July 2012 was adjourned due to the absence of the MPs on the majority side who have traveled to Sunyani for the NDC delegates congress slated for this weekend.
Business in the House today 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 yesterday 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.
The NPP MPs also questioned the absence of the Speaker of Parliament Joyce Bamford Addo and the first Deputy Speaker Doe Adjaho, wondering if the Speaker had also traveled to Sunyani for the congress.
