The Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Mike Oquaye, has expressed his displeasure at the current conditions of service of Members of Parliament, and is calling on the public to seriously consider improving it.<\/p>\n
He said the salaries of the Members of Parliament must be reviewed and he will help to achieve that.<\/p>\n
Prof Mike Oquaye added that, Parliament needed a new chamber as well as a good library to facilitate its work.<\/p>\n
In his acceptance address after taking the oath of office administered by Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood on January 7, 2017, Prof Oquaye said, \u201cI want to use this opportunity to convey to our country men and women \u2013 we should seriously better the lot of our MPs. Why can\u2019t MPs be given official vehicles for their work as pertains in other places? Then they can get loans for other vehicles for other uses.\u201d<\/p>\n
