In what started as a rumor that Parliament would stop carrying its staff members homes with its buses has come to pass.

The bus services provided for staff members had been halted at the beginning of the first meeting of the third session of the seventh Parliament of the fourth Republic.

In the third meeting of the second session of this Parliament there were indications that the Parliamentary service board would ensure that the bus service is stopped as it is putting a lot of drain on the funds of Parliament.

There were protests from staff that saw the bus services coming back after some national service personnel raised issues concerning it.

Investigation carried out by Ghanamps.com indicates that authorities at Parliament House has provided car loans to most staff members and provided allowance to staff members hence the need to stop the service which is a drain on the institution.
