Majority and Minority Chief Whips jointly call for an investigation into the GHC80 million loss at NHIA.

The Majority and Minority Chief Whips of Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh and Governs Kwame Agbodza, have submitted a private members’ motion to establish a special or ad-hoc committee in the House to investigate the loss of 80 million Ghana Cedis in the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Investments Funds.

The Leaders of the House are also calling for an investigation into the utilization of public funds allocated for services provided by Zipline Ghana.

Furthermore, Governs Agbodza and Frank Annoh-Dompreh are advocating for an inquiry into the procurement of various ICT contracts by the NHIA.

In a related development, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has expressed surprise at the absence of minority members from parliamentary proceedings.

The Minority caucus previously stated that they would refrain from participating in chamber activities on days when their Leader is required to attend court for the ambulance purchase case, opting to wait until the court’s daily sessions are over.

Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, Annoh-Dompreh remarked on the minority’s decision to abstain from parliamentary duties, describing it as a notable choice.

“… It’s quite surprising to me… They have chosen to be absent.”

Clearly, they are revealing their true colors to the Ghanaian people,” he remarked.

Meanwhile, upon their arrival in the house, Minority Members raised a quorum concern, prompting the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, to initiate the adjournment process due to insufficient MPs present to conduct business.
