Minority to haul EC Chair, BoG Governor before Parliament

The Minority in Parliament want to drag the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, the Bank of Ghana Governor, Ernest Addison, and the head Securities and Exchange Commission, Rev. Ogbamey Tetteh, before the House over the limited registration exercise and customer agitations in the banking sector.

According to the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak the invitation will afford MPs the opportunity to ask questions on some outstanding issues.

Muntaka made these demands after the Majority Leader presented the Business Statement for the First Sitting of the Second Meeting of Parliament after the Easter holidays.

Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah responding to the issues said some aggrieved Ghanaians are in court over the Limited registration exercise, but assured that leadership will engage the respective officials to update the house if the need be.

The decision to haul before Parliament the BoG governor and the SEC Boss comes after the president and chairman of Groupe Nduom (GN), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, ordered Gold Coast Holding to sue the government to recover investment funds valued more than three billion Ghana Cedis from agencies, contractors and other financial institutions.

He has also directed the company to make available to the media and in all their offices, the list of everyone who owes Gold Coast and GN Savings and was not making any effort to pay funds back as customers agitate for their funds.

In the related development, Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye is admonishing members of Parliament to be punctual and dedicated to business of the house.
