The minority group in parliament has shot down a $250 million loan from the World Bank.
The facility which was meant for the Energy Sector Recovery Programme was supposed to be approved on the final day of sitting given the consensus reached by the finance committee.
However, Member of Parliament for Asawase Constituency, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, flagged an allocation of $94 million for consultancy services questioning its justification.
The MP’s concerns were supported by the MP for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
Unfortunately, for the majority group an explanations from the majority side led by chairman for the finance committee Patrick Yaw Boamah did very little to convince the NDC MPs who subsequently voted against the facility.
The development generated some back and forth between the speaker and the majority side consequently culminating into the speaker adjourning the house indefinitely.
