The canker of the Ghanaian’s poor attitude towards time, has\u00a0infiltrated\u00a0Ghana’s Parliament infuriating the Speaker of the house.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the Speaker of the House, Edward Doe Adjaho, ranted\u00a0over what he called the increasing spate of lateness among Members of Parliament.<\/p>\n
According to the speaker, the lackadaisical attitude to time exhibited by the MPs,\u00a0is affecting the business of the House.<\/p>\n
This outburst by the Speaker follows concerns raised by some Minority MPs about the absence of the Attorney General Marrieta Brew Appiah-Oppong, in the House on Tuesday, February 2, when she was expected to lay the Witness Protection Bill 2016.<\/p>\n
The exasperated Speaker in lamenting used himself as an example saying he has always been on time but has to wait for a reasonable number of MPs to be present before he starts proceedings.<\/p>\n
In responding to the concerns that the Attorney-General had delayed in appearing before the house, the Speaker retorted, \u201cWe are part of the problem. I have to wait to get a certain number of people, a reasonable number, before I enter the chamber.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaker Doe Adjaho advised MPs to report on\u00a0time saying, \u201cLet us resolve from today that 10 o\u2019clock, we all come here, leave our offices, come here [for proceedings], start the work and finish on time so you can go back to your offices.\u201d<\/p>\n
