Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, has strongly opposed the proposal for a new parliamentary chamber aimed at enhancing security and a dedicated hospital for MPs.
He described the initiative as a misplaced priority, arguing that Ghana is currently bankrupt and cannot afford such an expenditure.
His comments follow a proposal made by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, calling for the establishment of a new parliamentary chamber to enhance the security of Members of Parliament (MPs). The Effutu MP also proposed a dedicated hospital for MPs arguing that the health of MPs must be prioritised.
The proposal was put forward during the inauguration of the Parliamentary Service Board for the ninth Parliament on Monday, March 17, where Afenyo emphasized the need for new infrastructure that reflects the importance of the legislative arm of government.
