The Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP) says Parliament has become too weak in the discharge of its duties which could likely threaten Ghana\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

This follows former Majority Leader, Alban Bagbin\u2019s bribery allegations against some Members of Parliament (MPs) and recent reports that Parliament is cash strapped.<\/p>\n

The Secretary General of the PPP, Kofi Asamoah Siaw in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> said Parliament as an arm of government must be adequately resourced.<\/p>\n

He explained saying, \u201cwe have the Executive sitting in Parliament so the principle of checks and balances is being defeated.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the PPP has long suspected that all was not well in Ghana\u2019s Legislature and current developments have confirmed their suspicions regarding the \u201cconduct of the Executive by the way they treat Parliament, the way Parliament has been under resourced, the way Parliament has not been effective as far as carrying out their oversight responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Asamoah-Siaw urged government to assist Parliament to enable MPs perform their roles properly and also curb possible bribery and corrupt practices among members.<\/p>\n
