Parliament has reconstituted its membership in the South Africa-based Pan-African Parliament to enable the Deputy Majority Leader, Mr Rashid Pelpuo, to replace the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for Ningo Prampram, Mr E. T. Mensah.The replacement of Mr Mensah has become necessary because he has been appointed as Minister of Employment and Social Welfare.Ghana's five members in the Pan-African Parliament comprise three from the Majority side and two from the Minority side.The other Majority MPs in the Pan-African Parliament are the First Deputy Speaker and NDC MP for Avenor-Ave, Mr Edward Doe Adjaho, and NDC MP for Nabdam, Mr Moses Asaga.The two Minority MPs in the Pan-African Parliament are the Deputy Minority Leader, Mr Ambrose Dery, and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Oforikrom, Ms Elizabeth Agyeman.Rule 8 (4) of the Rules of Procedures of the Pan-African Parliament requires that a member of the Parliament appointed to carry out executive or judicial function shall before assuming that office resign as a member of the parliament.It was in that regard that Mr Mensah resigned, thus paving the way for the leadership of Parliament to recommend Mr Pelpuo to replace him.Speaking to the Daily Graphic, Mr Pelpuo thanked the House for the confidence reposed in him and promised to work hard to build on Ghana's enviable image and immense contribution to the Pan-African Parliament.In another development, the NDC MP for Garu-Tempane, Mr Dominic Azumah, and NDC MP for Ashaiman, Mr Alfred Agbesi, have been selected to replace Mr John Akolugu Tia and Alhaji Dr Major Mustapha Ahmed (retd) as members of Ghana's delegation to the ECOWAS Parliament.While Mr Tia has been appointed the Minister of Information, Alhaji Ahmed is now a Deputy Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, thus necessitating their replacement.Source: Daily Graphic/Ghana
