The NDC Banda MP insists that the president was aware of the decision to set up a new parliamentary chambers complex and can not therefore deny that the executive branch of the government was not consulted during the process. .
"In addition to dropping the chamber, the president must apologize to the Ghanaians for letting us know that democracy really works in this country." He wanted to build a room and then, when you were asked to claim In the meantime, this is not the case he was really involved.If President Akufo-Addo lost his priorities, he should let us know. "He also apologizes to the deputies," he said in an interview on Neat FM.
The mbadive opposition and the public outcry sparked by the $ 200 civil society project forced Parliament to announce a halt to the project on Monday, July 8th.
The decision to put the project aside was made after a meeting of the Council of Parliamentary Services that examined the mbadive campaign on social media and the public outcry against that decision.
The Council of Parliamentary Services had already received the architectural model of the new room of the famous Ghanaian architect David Frank Adjaye, the same designer of the national cathedral.
The room with 450 seats would have provided a chapel, a mosque, a restaurant and a museum. The current chamber has 275 seats of deputies.
The Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) and the OccupyGhana lobby group condemned this idea, describing it as a "misplaced priority".
On Friday, three members of the Economic Fighters League were arrested for protesting the new 450-seat room. The group leader and his accomplices got a deposit of 2,000 GHC with a deposit.
The League headed by its leader Ernesto Yeboah was demonstrating in front of the rostrum during the debates.
But on Monday, Acting Public Affairs Director of Parliament Kate Addo said in Accra Neat FM, "Before the projects are finished, feasibility studies are finished, but you will realize that this new room is not feasible at the moment".
