The House of Commons’ Privileges Committee has stated that the House’s recess will not prevent it from carrying out its duties.
On Tuesday, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, sent the Members of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, Ayawaso Central, Henry Quartey, and Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, to the Privileges Committee for missing more than 15 Parliamentary sittings.
Vice Chairman of the Privileges Committee, Kwasi Afrifa Mensah, told Citi News that he expects an official message from the Clerk of Parliament for further action.

“We have a clerk committee, so they will write to us, and then they will call us for a meeting. We are yet to receive any information from the clerk. Anytime the Chairman of the Committee will receive a request for investigations, they will communicate to us and give us the date we can meet as a committee to discuss the issues on board. We are also on recess but even next week, the chairman of the committee can call us for a meeting. We are not in Parliament, but we are still working.”
The referral in Parliament was marked by some protests by the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, who later filed a motion calling for the referral of the three MPs to be rescinded.
Parliament went on a holiday break on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, for the Easter festivities.
The date for their return will subsequently be announced.
