I recognize Mr. Speaker that Deputy is here, but it is not the same as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission. As we speak, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission has consistently avoided parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are of the view that we have raised today in this chamber since morning, as serious issues that we prefer and will want the electoral commissioner to be here to give us the needed assurances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu disagreed with the Minority Leader\u2019s demand and explained that the invitation sent out to the EC did not specifically request that Madam Jean Mensah herself appear before the House.<\/p>\n<p>The Suame legislator stated that, \u201cthe invitation was to two institutions and that his preference and the preference of the Majority is that the two institutions should be represented by their heads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chairperson then indicated that the invitation was true to the institutions and not to the Chairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding the explanation given by the Majority Leader, the Speaker said that the new CI had serious implications and therefore the EC Chairperson herself must appear before the House to make clarifications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker of
