During Monday’s proceedings, Member of Parliament for Tamale Central Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed raised concerns about quorum as Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh Dompreh planned to present the Ewoyaa Lithium and Bauxite agreement to the House.
Murtala contended that the majority should not consistently depend on the minority to achieve the quorum necessary for government business.
Murtala further argued,”Mr Speaker, I’m standing on order 64 to raise a quorum for transactions for business this morning. They bring business to this house, and they can’t consistently rely on our numbers to have government business executed.
“It demonstrates a lack of seriousness, I don’t think we need to give them this opportunity. They are in our constituencies campaigning, yet they expect us to execute their business for them. It’s completely unacceptable, we could have also done that, we could have left this house, but we have decided to act responsibly.”
The Speaker, Alban Bagbin was compelled to adjourn sittings after a headcount revealed that only 24 Members of Parliament were available for proceedings.
“Honourable members, head count 24, the house is adjourned.”
