Member of Parliament for Asawase and Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak says the remaining 75 seats can be reserved for representatives from minority groups who will be appointed based on their expertise and competence to support the House.
Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, is advocating a downward review of the number of legislators in Ghana’s Parliament from 275 to 200.
This according to the Member of Parliament for Asawase, will help deal with persistent absenteeism by members, while keeping them on their toes.
Muntaka Mubarak speaking to Luv FM’s Nana Yaw Gyimah, suggested that the remaining 75 seats can be reserved for representatives from minority groups who will be appointed based on their expertise and competence to support the House.
The MP also added that, in the interim, a biometric attendance recording system must be installed in Parliament to prevent MPs from unduly staying away from their duties.
According to him, the present system of manual recording is not robust enough.
