The Honors Board of trustees of Parliament will sometime in the afternoon, May 25 hold a critical gathering to decide the modalities for its sittings in regards to the question of three non-attendant MPs.

 

The Board of trustees has two weeks to introduce a report to the house on the reference from the Speaker of Parliament on Vault Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, Ayawaso Focal MP, Henry Quartey, and Assin Focal MP Kennedy Agyapong, for absenting themselves for over fifteen days from Parliament without consent.

 

Positioning Part on the Council, Kweku Ricketts Hagan illustrated the exercises of the Panel as follows:

 

"On the 26th of May, we will meet with Henry Quartey, the 27th of May will be the turn of Adwoa Safo, and afterward on the 31st of May, we will meet with Kennedy Agyapong. We will talk about the modalities at the present gathering."

 

A previous Individual from Parliament for Kumbumgu Body electorate, Ras Mubarak, requested of the Speaker of Parliament to manage the question of truancy in the House.

 

He refered to Arch Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo; Henry Quartey, the MP for Ayawaso Focal, and Ebenezer Kojo Kum, the MP for Ahanta West and Ken Ohene Agyapong, MP for Assin Focal as MPs who he said had ridiculed arrangements of Article 97(1)(c) of the Constitution and Parliament's Standing Request 16(1) which dislikes Individuals absenting themselves for 15 sitting days without consent from the Speaker.

 

Per Article 97(1)(c) of the 1992 Constitution, an Individual from Parliament will clear his seat "in the event that he is missing, without the consent recorded as a hard copy of the Speaker, and he can't offer a sensible clarification to the Parliamentary Board of trustees on Honors from fifteen sittings of a gathering of Parliament during any period that Parliament has been brought to meet and keeps on gathering."

 

The appeal was replicated to the administration of the two sides of the House. Mubarak expressed, as per Parliament's Hansard, four New Enthusiastic Party (NPP) MPs had mocked the standard on non-attendance and ought to be made to show up before the Honors Board of trustees of the House.
