The Member of Parliament for North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says he is encouraged by the support received from colleague Members of Parliament with regard to the private member’s motion he filed jointly with the Okaikoi Central MP, Patrick Boamah, urging Parliament to reject the $28 million auto loan arrangement for legislators.
According to him on Eyewitness News monitored by this media, following the submission of the motion to the Speaker of Parliament, many MPs have expressed their support for the cause and have pledged to fully support it when it comes up on the floor of Parliament for debate.
“Since I put out the article, I have received considerable support and I want to commend my colleague on the other side, Hon. Patrick Boamoah. A good number of MPs have expressed interest in supporting us… They have told us that when the motion is moved, they will speak in favour. I think the response so far is positive, and we want to believe that we can succeed in moving colleagues to reject this loan that the Finance Minister has laid in parliament,”.
