Speaker of the House Alban Bagbin has summoned the Ministers of Education, Agriculture, and Finance to explain the government’s debt to the National Food Suppliers Association.
Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Bryan Acheampong, and Ken Ofori-Atta are the ministers.
Following an appeal by Member of Parliament for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to the House, the Speaker summoned the Ministers to tell the House on how the government intends to settle the over GH270 million debt to food suppliers.
“As the leader of this House, it is important that I keep drawing your attention as the representatives of the people so that you can properly represent the interests of your constituents,” Bagbin said.
“Now this is where we are. So I agree that the Business Committee should schedule for the three ministers to appear before the House. The three ministers are the Ministers of Finance, Food and Agriculture, and Education. They will tell us why the challenge,” Bagbin said.
The Speaker explained that the summons would assist the Executive the issues raised.
He said “that is why we are establishing a committee on ways and means.”
