Parliament Defies It’s Own Laws As They Organize Party At Aqua Safari In Disregard For President’s Directives

Members of Parliament (MPs) breached COVID-19 protocols and organised a party to end a three-day training on processes and proceedings of Parliament for new MPs at Aqua Safari in Ada.

In some photos published on the official Facebook page of the Parliament of Ghana which has since been deleted, MPs from both sides of the House were seen on the dance floor, dancing their hearts out.

“One of the ways people bond with each other is through music and dance. After a hard two day’s work, new Members of Parliament took to the dance floor to release some stress,” caption to the photos read.

There was no social distancing.

By that below-par behaviour, the MPs have not only defied the president but have also undermined the law passed by Parliament based on which the president issued the COVID-19 directives.

The president’s televised 23rd COVID-19 address on Sunday 31 January 2021 barred anyone from organising parties, funerals or weddings.

The workshop for parliamentarians ended on Monday, 08 February 2021, which clearly means that the party took place after the president’s directives.
