Top Story: Parliament Erupts Over Closed-Door BoG Briefing as Minority Walks Out
Top Story with Kenneth Gyasi on Joy 99.7 FM brings you the latest political showdown from Parliament.
Fresh tensions erupted in Parliament after the Minority opposed plans for the Bank of Ghana Governor to answer questions from MPs in a closed-door Committee of the Whole sitting instead of in open plenary. The Minority argues Ghanaians deserve transparency on critical issues surrounding the central bank's foreign exchange interventions, while the Majority insists Parliament is simply following long-standing convention for engaging independent constitutional bodies.
The standoff escalated when the Minority staged a dramatic walkout, accusing First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor of intimidation and frustrating parliamentary oversight after a dispute during question time involving Communications Minister Sam George.
