In light of concerns regarding the welfare of former Members of Parliament (MPs), the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, has created an eight-member ad hoc committee to investigate the feasibility of a pension scheme for MPs.
The committee’s formation follows suggestions from both the Minority and Majority Chief Whips during a tribute to the late MP for Talensi, John Akologu Tia.
Presiding over the parliamentary proceedings on Friday, Andrew Asiamah Amoako set a two-week deadline for the committee to present their recommendations to the house.
Addressing the members, he emphasized the significance of the initiative, stating, “Honourable members, I believe this is very important for all of us. With the committee that has been formed, we can be confident that they will provide a beneficial outcome for us.”
He concluded by expressing gratitude to the committee members, adding, “We thank the members and hope that they will work expeditiously for us.”
