Three days into a five-day emergency recall of Parliament, the House is yet to consider the key Government business it was recalled to handle, the Minority has said.
The Caucus says about 75 per cent of the time has elapsed without the House taking the Banks and Specialised Deposit-Taking Institutions Amendment Bill and the National Petroleum Authority Bill that were announced as the reasons for the recall.
Speaking to journalists after adjournment on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Member of Parliament for Walewale, Dr Mahama Tiah Abdul Kabiru, urged the Government to show more seriousness in conducting its business.
“Today is the third day of the five days we were recalled to sit. Effectively, we have wasted about 75% of the time,” he said.
He said the Minority reluctantly agreed to the recall despite having other equally important matters, including a motion seeking investigation into losses allegedly occasioned by the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod).
Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, also challenged the Majority to explain its failure to execute Government business despite the emergency recall.
First Deputy Majority Whip, Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe, however, defended the Majority, attributing the delay to vetting by the Appointments Committee.
“We called the House to come and sit and work and we are working, so why are they complaining?” she asked.
She said the vetting of two ministers and judges had affected the schedule, adding that Parliament needed to approve the nominees so they could return to their ministries and work on their budgets.
