Some Members of Parliament are said to be very unhappy with how the funeral arrangements for the late President are conflicting with the conduct of public business in the house.
According to Adom FM’s Parliamentary correspondent Listowell Fordjour, the MPs are unhappy that the greater part of the funeral arrangements of the late President Mills have coincided with the sittings of the House.
The MPs also raised concerns over security arrangements such as how they would be allowed entry into Parliament House since State Protocol are yet to communicate the concluded arrangements to the House.
Meanwhile, the House has plunged into a closed-door meeting deliberating on how to ensure the funeral security arrangements put in place would not affect the business of the House.
The funeral of the late President Mills is scheduled to take place between 8-10 August. The former President would be laid in state at the State House on August 8 and 9.
The final funeral rites would be held at the Independence Square, August 10.
