As Parliament resumes from recess today, the Minority has said it would push for the House to touch on development on the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology today (KNUST).
According to the Minority Leader, in an “ideal Parliament” the first item is for the Speaker to accommodate statements on the brouhaha on KNUST campus.
He made this remarks when he addressed journalists in Parliament House indicating the Minority’s displeasure in the way and manner government is handling KNUST brouhaha and gave indications of what the Minority would want to see the House do today.
Mr. Haruna Iddrisu further pointed out that in the exercise of true oversight roles, details and facts of the development at KNUST should be shared on the floor, but lamented that it would become an issue of the Majority wanting to protect government’s position.
“It does not strengthen Parliamentary democracy and weakens our power to exercise oversight, by the very architecture of the 1992 constitution oversight rest largely on the Minority”, he lamented.
The Minority, he noted would engage the Speaker today on this matter and continue to engage you the media as we have done a day before the House resumes from recess.
