Member of the Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, is urging the speaker of the Parliament to suspend all sessions in light of the recent rise in confirmed coronavirus cases in Ghana, which now stands at eleven (11).
Mr. Agyapong emphasized that the current sitting arrangement in parliament puts them at a high risk of contracting the virus.
In a recent interview on Net 2 television, he made an appeal, stating: “I’ll like to appeal to the leadership of Parliament to put parliamentary duties on hold for now. Let us go on break as the country deals with the outbreak and then later use our long vacation to work. By that time the problem may have been dealt with.”
He further explained that “Although there are sanitizers all over the place where we can all wash our hands frequently, we need to discourage that sitting arrangement because we are too close in the house.”
