Mr. Annoh-Dompreh highlighted that the First Week of the First Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana witnessed the admission of 631 questions. With members returning from the Christmas recess, new questions reflecting constituents' concerns have been filed.
The Business Committee urged ministers to prioritize attendance and responsiveness to parliamentary inquiries. Additionally, committees with pending referrals were encouraged to expedite their work and present reports for consideration.
However, the sitting of the House had to be adjourned to Tuesday, February 13, as per the request of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority Caucus, to facilitate a caucus meeting.
