Parliament Drops New Chamber Project

By -


    Parliament has pulled the brakes on its plans to construct a new parliamentary complex to house a chamber large enough to accommodate parliamentarians and others who appear before the house to conduct official business.


According to the Ag. Director of Public Affairs of Parliament, Kate Addo, the house has pulled the brakes for now but is unable to say if it is a permanent brake or the issue would be revisited in the near future.


The project has seen a number of Ghanaians raising objection in the face of what they termed more pressing needs that should be attended to.


A week ago,the house’s deliberations were disrupted when a lone protester in the public gallery, Ernesto Yeboah who is also the Convener of the Economic Fighters League raised his voice to “tell” the parliamentarians to “drop that chamber”.


He was quickly taken in, along with two others, by security personnel.
