The leadership of both houses of parliament has been urged by the second deputy speaker, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, to take responsibility for making sure their members are present in Parliament so that business can be conducted.
Due to insufficient attendance to begin parliamentary business in the chamber, the house has been forced to adjourn sittings on numerous occasions.
In response to concerns about quorum voiced by Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, a Member of Parliament for South Dayi, the Second Deputy Speaker Andrew Amoako Asiamah, who presided over the meeting, said that members of parliament must take their duties as officers of the house seriously.
“I think that we have to take the house seriously. If you have been following the media over the weekend, they all descended on Parliament; the fact that we don’t get the members to do business and I think it is becoming unbecoming. So, honourable members, today will be the last day that we will raise this issue, so I am urging you to do more,” he said.
