Speaker Professor Aaron Michael Oquaye has admonished Members of Parliament that plenary work supersedes any another work in the House.

According to the Speaker MPs must come to work early when the House is sitting, in the light of young kids from basic schools arriving in the chamber as early as 8:00am with some coming all the way from the Northern Ghana.

Professor Oquaye made this remarks on Thursday when he entered the chamber at 10:05am with only fifteen (15) lawmakers in the chamber; Minority five (5) and the Majority (10).

“We have appointment with the good people of Ghana, the young kids are here very early, they come to listen to their Parliament, we should take our work very serious”, he lamented.

He further added that if all the MPs can collaborate together, “we would go a long way to develop our country together, we need to work together”.
