Members of Parliament (MPs) will resume sitting today after postponing their scheduled re-opening two times.<\/p>\n
Parliament initially announced plans to resume business on Tuesday, May 27.<\/p>\n
The date, which was however postponed to June 3 was again postponed to June 10.<\/p>\n
Reports had quoted the minority leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu as claiming that the postponements were forced by financial constraints.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/b> however, the Deputy Minority Leader, Dominic Nitiwul said though funding challenges remain,Mrit is imperative for Parliament to resume since it has a number of issues to tackle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bills that are in Parliament are well over ten and those that Parliament envisage to come are close to ten so we have a lot of jobs to look at,\u201d Mr. Nitiwul said<\/p>\n
Mr. Nitiwul said Parliament is willing to make use of its limited resources to get the House working.<\/p>\n
\u201c I don\u2019t think that in this era of authority anybody will say that the House needs such a sound financial fortune, that is not true. We have small resources, but we are ready to make use of it to get Parliament working,\u201d Mr. Nitiwul explained.<\/p>\n
