North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has revealed that approximately 700 cases referred to various parliamentary committees for investigation remain unresolved.

Both the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, and several Members of Parliament have expressed frustration over the prolonged delay in presenting committee reports on critical national issues for consideration by the plenary.

Mr Ablakwa raised concerns specifically about the Majority Caucus' sluggishness in finalizing the composition of its members on the ad-hoc committee tasked with probing these matters. Notably, these issues include the stalled National Cathedral Project.

In light of these delays, he called upon the Speaker to take decisive action against the leadership of such committees to ensure prompt resolution of pending cases.

“We are either taking our constitutional mandate seriously or not. The people don’t elect us to come to this House to waste time and not attend to matters urgently and to derelict on our constitutional mandate, and so I think it is time to crack the whip.”

“The last time we were at a workshop, the clerk said there were about 700 referrals that have not been covered, and it doesn’t speak well of us.”
