We won’t share Parliamentary committees equally with NDC - NPP Caucus
The NPP said it is normal practice for the Majority to grab more key positions in Parliamentary Committees

The NPP caucus in parliament says it will not agree with demands by the opposition NDC to share committees in the house equally.
“Our rules and conventions, and practices relate to the fact that the party that constitutes the majority populates the leadership of the committees,” leader of the NPP caucus, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu said questioning the basis for the NDC’s demand.
“In my own fair assessment, indeed if we continue on that path, we will not succeed in growing our parliament. It’s the reason we came to fashion new standing orders,” he added at a press conference in Accra on Thursday.

But the NDC have argued that its numerical strength which is equal to that of the ruling NPP would not be compromised when it comes to the composition of committees.
Although the NPP is claiming a majority (138) in the House because the independent Fomena MP had opted to align with them, the NDC leader, Haruna Iddrisu insists the ruling party’s claims were not on the same path with the law.
