Tuesday, July 6, to Friday, July 9, marked another eventful week in the life of Ghana’s Parliament.
Members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) marched to the Parliament House to present a petition demanding an end to brutalities by security agencies.
An agreement was laid on the Floor for MPs to take a $28 million car loan which they will pay back 40% of, whilst government absorbs the rest of the 60%.
The house was briefed by Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul on punishments that have been meted out to soldiers who brutalised some residents in Wa.
Interior Minister Ambrose Derry briefed MPs on how Fire Service personnel in the Eastern Region went to a fire scene in a taxi.
Not forgetting the approval of the Minority’s motion for a bipartisan parliamentary probe chaired by Effutu MP Alexander Afenyo Markins to investigate government contracts to purchase Sputnik V vaccines from Russia.
Joy News’ parliamentary correspondent Joseph Opoku Gakpo was in parliament to see it all. He brings us a wrap of what happened THIS WEEK IN PARLIAMENT.
