The Majority is unhappy with the Minority over what they see as the unnecessary demand for Parliamentary approval of every government transaction.

According to the majority caucus, this development is petty and is driving away potential investors in the country’s economy.

The Minority has, in the last few weeks, criticised the government for unilaterally signing various contracts, including the recent 5G service deal with NextGen InfranCo.

The NDC MPs contend that some of these sole-sourced deals must be subjected to parliamentary approval.

However, the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, disagreed at a press conference in Parliament on Wednesday, June 5.

“It is important to remind our colleagues that they ought not to make Parliament a busybody nosing for things that are not part of the mandate of Parliament. Our job as Parliament is provided for in the Constitution and I will urge our friends in the NDC that by that act.

"They are obstructing government business by the act they're scaring investors and that affects the economy. If businesses are hearing such news basically, they are not going to give up their best people keep their money and that will affect the good people of Ghana," he said.

Mr Afenyo-Markin claims that the nature of the deals does not breach any constitutional provision and does not require approval from Parliament.
