Parliament will intensify its oversight role in the new sitting, with over 600 documents and questions referred for scrutiny, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has announced.
He said accountability would remain at the heart of the House’s work, as Ghanaians demanded value for money and responsible governance.
Mr Ayariga revealed that the Public Accounts Committee had been actively examining the management of petroleum revenues and the public accounts of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies for 2024.
“This is the essential work of safeguarding the public purse,” he said. “Every pesewa must be accounted for.”
He noted that ministers, heads of state institutions, and key public officials, including the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, would appear before parliamentary committees to answer questions on stalled projects, state-owned enterprises, and alleged financial mismanagement.
“We will follow the evidence wherever it leads,” the Majority Leader stressed.
Beyond oversight, Mr Ayariga said Parliament would also pursue major governance and justice reforms, including the Conduct of Public Officers Bill and amendments to strengthen the Economic and Organised Crime Office.
He described these measures as critical to rebuilding public trust in state institutions.
“This House is not just a law-making chamber; it is a house of accountability,” Mr Ayariga declared. “The hope Ghanaians feel must not be stolen by waste or mismanagement.”
He urged Members of both the Majority and Minority to rise above partisanship and deliver results that improve the daily lives of citizens.
