The Minority in Parliament has called for Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang to attend the House on Tuesday, March 18, to engage in the debate concerning the 2025 Budget.
This appeal is grounded in Article 111 of the constitution, which permits the Vice President to participate in parliamentary discussions.
Patrick Yaw Boamah, the Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, responded to the forthcoming Business Statement by emphasizing that the Vice President’s significant background in the education sector should influence the government’s economic and financial policies.
“The Business Committee has made allocations for ministers of state leaving out the Vice President who has been very quiet and it will be very important to have to see her in action on the floor to debate the President’s economic and financial policy especially having been a former Minister of Education.
“And so I will want the Business Committee to amend the Business Paper and have a time allotted the Vice President to be here since she is the first female Vice President she is permitted by the constitution to participate,” he stated.
