Privileges Committee to rip absentee MPs off for failure to show up in Parliament

The Leadership of the Privileges Committee of Parliament has warned three absentee Members of Parliament (MPs) that failure to honor their invitation will cost them their seats.

The committee has been struggling to hold hearing after it was forced to abort its first day engagement with Ayawaso Central MP and Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey.

Dome Kwabenya MP, Sara Adwoa Safo, who was billed to appear before the committee told the media she was unaware of any invitation by the committee.

Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong who sought permission for medical review in the United States has asked for an extension even though per the timetable he was to appear before the committee today, Wednesday June 1,2022.

The Privileges Committee is therefore being forced to plead for an extension of one more week.
According to the Committee, for the lack of cooperation from these MPs they could lose their parliamentary seats and hences their MP titles.
