The Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has asked the Minority Caucus to justify their decision to boycott parliamentary sittings.
According to him, the Minority ought to explain to their constituents their decision to boycott Parliamentary business in solidarity with James Gyakye Quayson.
The MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri opined that the action by the Minority is contrary to parliamentary norms and goes against the provisions of the House.
He lamented the action by the Minority is negatively impacting the smooth functioning of parliamentary business.
“We have two sides and worked smoothly until the incident of Gyakye-Quayson occurred and we are not complaining about their decision to boycott the Chamber but we have appealed that they rescind the decision.
“We started business as normal and the Agric Minister was scheduled to brief the House and this happened without our colleagues from the Minority side but I learnt they were at committee meetings and so why will you boycott the Chamber and yet deliberate matters at the committee level?”
“They have to give some reasons for doing what they are doing because they were elected to represent their constituents and deciding to attend committee meetings and boycott the Chamber is very disturbing because their role is to be in the Chamber because that is what their constituents elected them to do.
“I don’t see why someone will choose to sit in committee meetings and boycott the plenary. I follow and check and the time the trial was ongoing, the committee meeting was also ongoing and so they should come and explain why they will boycott the Chamber.”
