NPP Caucus wasted our time and resources – Della Sowah 

Member of Parliament for Kpando Constituency, Della Sowah has expressed disappointment in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs for failing to show up in Parliament yesterday.

According to her, never in the history of Parliament has this happened.

In an interview with the media, Della Sowah said, “The NPP only succeeded in wasting our time, personal and state resources with your action.”

 She queried why the NPP Caucus would trigger a recall of Parliament only to refuse to show up in the chamber. 

” If you are not ready,why did you petition the Speaker to recall Parliament?, ” she queried.

She said most of the MPs had to drive all the way from their Constituencies when the country had been told there was an urgent business to be conducted.

Della Sowah said it shows a s lack of maturity, adding that the NPP had taken the whole country for granted.

“The first letter they wrote for recall had five businesses two day after they brought an additional 17, and they did not show up when the house was finally recalled,” she said.

The recall, initiated by the NPP caucus, was expected to address several critical issues and government business.

However, as they failed to appear in the Chamber, Speaker Bagbin expressed disappointment and adjourned the house indefinitely.

“In view of the failure of the business committee to sit, as a result of the refusal of those who requested a recall to show up, we are compelled to once again adjourn the sitting of the house. Knowing the challenges we are facing, it is not advisable to be adjourning from day to day. So, I will proceed once more to adjourn the meeting indefinitely,” he stated.
