The board of trustees will begin hearing the three non-attendant MPs, with Henry Quartey for Ayawaso Central as the principal individual followed by Sarah Adwoa Safo for Dome Kwabenya and afterward Kennedy Ohene Agyapong for Assin Central. The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, alluded the three New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs to the Privileges Committee of Parliament for absenting themselves from the House for in excess of 15 sitting days without his authorization.
Yet, at a gathering of the board of trustees on Wednesday (May 25, 2022), the individuals presumed that the media wouldn't be confessed to cover the conference.
This is in opposition to past gatherings and hearings of the 31-part council which had been covered by the media. The issue of non-attendance in the House without consent from the Speaker had been a well established issue which should have been tended to comprehensively.
Subsequently, when the new one came to the consideration of the Speaker, he alluded it to the Committee of Privileges to investigate it.

"Also, it is on that premise that the [Privileges] Committee arrived at that resolution that it would be best that we offer the chance for individuals to come and have the option to come and have the option to talk about with us, accused of that obligation on what the reasons were or the proof.
"Obviously, when we are finished with our work, we will assemble a report and seeing the report, it will lay out the motivation behind why we suggested that a part ought to have a genuine motivation to in any case remain in Parliament or not and I believe that will turn into a public data," Kweku Ricketts Hagan, an individual from the Committee of Privileges said in a radio meeting with Accra put together Citi FM with respect to Wednesday night [May 25, 2022] checked by Graphic Online.
Squeezed further on why past gatherings of the board of trustees had been covered by the media and this time around the media is being kept from permitting people in general to observe the procedures, Mr Hagan said: "You are questioning me on a choice that has been taken by the committee.""I'm letting you know the council's choice is that, we didn't feel that it will be proper to examine what is probably going to be wellbeing matters, since we realize that no less than two of them or each of them three have been managing a few clinical issues and we felt that it won't be fitting," Mr Hagan added
