Minority questions need for Parliament recall as Majority defends decision

The Majority and Minority caucuses in Parliament have clashed over Speaker Alban Bagbin's decision to recall Parliament from recess to consider what he has described as urgent government business.

Speaking on the issue, Deputy Minority Whip and Member of Parliament for Tolon, Habib Iddrisu, argued that government business had continued uninterrupted in the absence of substantive ministers in the past.

However, the Minority has questioned the need for the recall, arguing that the matters before the House are neither urgent nor significant enough to warrant reconvening Parliament during its recess.
