Majority Leader, Osei-Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, who revealed this, explained the extension was contained in a new letter the lawmaker sent.
“What I can say now is that on Wednesday, she brought a letter, asking for four weeks extension. She explained her injured child is still responding to treatment. I cannot say whether she is okay herself or not since I am not there with her,” he disclosed on Accra-based Neat FM.
Dated February 28, 2022, he noted it was addressed to Speaker Alban Bagbin with him [Kyei Mensah] copied.
