The Minority in Parliament is unhappy with the recall of MPs from a recess
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has called a special session of Parliament for May 2, 2023, to address what the Speaker calls “urgent parliamentary business.”
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Minority Leader, claimed in a tweet that the recall is being used to force MPs to approve the government’s decision to go on another borrowing spree.
He chastised the government for reckless borrowing in the face of the country’s current economic difficulties.
“I have been inundated with calls asking why Parliament has been recalled for urgent business on May 2, 2023. It is difficult to comprehend why the NPP government has the courage to continue borrowing after its reckless borrowing has completely destroyed the Ghanaian economy beyond recognition for generations to come,” he slammed the government in a tweet.
The House went on break on Friday, March 31, after passing three tax bills.
On the same night, MPs approved two additional Supreme Court Justices who had been vetted by the Appointments Committee earlier in the year.
