Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikwei Central, Yaw Patrick Boamah has called on Parliament to find a strategy of checking the vehicles of MPs when they are entering the premises of Parliament House.

He noted that the current system put in place by the marshal of the House were MPs’ vehicles are scanned before their vehicles enter the premises of the House is causing unnecessary traffic and discomfort to members.

According to the Okaikwei Central law maker, order 36 (c) states “to carry out Mr. Speaker’s direction for maintenance of order in the House and its precincts”.

He suggested that the marshal should provide members with adequate security, but scanning of MPs vehicles is causing a lot of traffic build up at the entrance of Parliament House, hence alternatives should be made that will free members from the inconveniences.
