Acrimony between Majority and Minority over approval of 2022 budget dangerous – ACEPA

The African Center for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA) has cautioned that the dug in position taken by each side of the house will have suggestions on parliamentary business and Ghana's majority rule process. 

As indicated by the research organization, assuming the ebb and flow rancor between the different sides isn't tended to rapidly, it would have critical results on the nation's majority rules system. 

The Majority casted a ballot to endorse the 2022 Budget after the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu, proclaimed as invalid and void Parliament's dismissal of the financial plan last Friday, November 26, 2021.

The First Deputy Speaker showed that the dismissal of the financial plan explanation by 137 minority individuals was illegal and that the Speaker, Alban Bagbin, failed in his decision.

Notwithstanding, the Minority Caucus has killed Parliament's endorsement of the 2022 Budget Statement and Economic Policy by the Majority. 


The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, at a question and answer session on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, demanded that the activity is invalid and void since the Majority doesn't have the necessary number for endorsement of the financial plan. 


"The Constitution says an appointee Speaker will not hold his unique vote while directing, so unavoidably they were additionally 137, so Ghanaians ought to expect that what they have done is likewise a nullity to cite them. The point of reference they are setting will torment them later on." 


In any case, the Executive Director of the African Center for Parliamentary Affairs, Dr. Rasheed Draman, in a Citi News meet recommended that the two sides should start to exchange as opposed to taking settled in positions. 


He in this way requested administration from the different sides to stroll on a way of building spans rather than taking settled in political positions. 


"Some would say victors and washouts. So there were victors on Friday and washouts on Monday, and furthermore failures on Friday and champs on Monday. This is an extremely fascinating turn of events, and we hold on to see what occurs before long. However, toward the finish, all things considered, the different sides can't flee from attempting to fabricate spans which is vital, in any case, the bitterness that we see won't foreshadow well for the remainder of the time that we have with this Parliament."
