The budgetary allocation for Parliament has been reduced by GH¢190.4 million.
This is contained in a letter from the Office of the President and addressed to the Speaker of Parliament.
The Speaker, Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin who disclosed this on the floor of Parliament Tuesday said “respectfully I’m unable to accept such reduction.”
He said it is Parliament that is vested with power to decide the budget of arms of government, not the power of the Executive to cap budget of the two bodies.
He therefore said he would insist that the right thing is done.
Parliament is to debate the 2021 budget statement and economic policy.
