Parliament approves composition of business, appointment c'ttees
Parliament on Tuesday, 19 January 2021 approved the composition of membership of the business and appointment committees.
Membership of the committees, put together by the committee on selection, in its report to the house presented 25 members for the business committee with Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu as Chairman and 26 members for the appointments committee with first deputy speaker, Joseph Osei Owusu as its Chairman.
Commenting on the development on the floor, Deputy Leader of the NPP caucus, Alexander Afenyo Markin kicked against the composition of the appointments committee.
According to him, since the standing orders takes away the right to vote from the chairman of the committee, the composition will give undue advantage to the NDC over the NPP.
He prayed the Speaker will rule that the chairman be given voting right.
