Minority criticizes Majority over poor attendance in Parliament

-

The Minority caucus in Parliament has criticized the Majority caucus for failing to attend Friday’s parliamentary proceedings in significant numbers.

Their concerns stem from the lack of quorum, as the required minimum of 91 Members of Parliament was not met for parliamentary business on March 7, 2025.

As a result, First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor was forced to suspend the session.

Reacting to the situation, Kwadaso MP, Professor Kingsley Nyarko, expressed his frustration while speaking to journalists.

“We need one-third of the House to commence business. We come to the House to work. Ghanaians voted for us to conduct business on their behalf. The NDC claims to be the super majority, yet they struggle to get their members to show up for parliamentary duties.

“What we witnessed today is embarrassing. How long can we continue like this? We want Ghanaians to be aware of this and urge our colleagues from the NDC to take the business of the House seriously. The people of Ghana expect us to meet their needs and aspirations,” he said.
