Accra, April 8, GNA - Parliament on Friday announced the replacement of two members of the House on the Pan African Parliament and the ECOWAS Parliament following their appointments as Ministers of State.
They are Ms Sarah Adwoa Safo, Deputy Minority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwbenya, now Minister of State in Charge of Public Procurement and Mr O.B Amoah, MP for Akwapim South, now Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development.
Ms Safo was on the South Africa based Pan African Parliament, and Mr Amoah on the Abuja based ECOWAS Parliament.
The replacement of Ms Safo comes under Rule 8 (4) of the Rules of Procedure of the Pan-African Parliament, where a member loses his or her seat when he or she is appointed to executive or judicial position.
The House therefore resolved that in accordance with the rules nominated Mrs Cynthia Mamle Morrison, MP for Agona West to replace Ms Safo, whilst Mr Alexander Kwamena Afenyo- Markin, MP for Efutu, replaced Mr Amoah.
