Parliament fumes as EC boss snubs House

-

The leadership of Parliament is incensed with the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Jean Mensa, for what it terms incessant display of disrespect to the House since her appointment.

The EC boss, who was billed to brief Members of Parliament (MPs) on the level of preparedness for the impending elections, failed to show up forcing the Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, to suspend sitting.

Upon resumption of sitting, Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, questioned the attitude of the EC chairperson towards Parliament.

According to the Asawase MP, that was not the first time the EC boss had stood up the House after invitations have been extended to her.
