Ablakwa chairs assurance committee in new parliamentary shake-up

The Parliament of Ghana has announced the formation of several key committees, with Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, appointed as the Chairman of the Assurance Committee.

The Assurance Committee, chaired by Ablakwa, is tasked with ensuring that government promises and commitments made to Parliament and the public are fulfilled.

This committee plays a critical role in holding the executive accountable and ensuring transparency in governance.

In addition to the Assurance Committee, Parliament has also constituted the Ethics and Standards Committee and the Ways and Means Committee, both to be chaired by Asokwa MP Patricia Appiagyei.

These committees are essential for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of parliamentary proceedings.

The Ethics Committee will oversee the conduct of Members of Parliament (MPs) and ensure adherence to ethical standards.

This committee aims to uphold the dignity and reputation of the legislative body by addressing any breaches of conduct and implementing necessary disciplinary measures.

Parliament has also constituted the Economy and Development Committee and the Backbenchers Committee, further strengthening its oversight and legislative functions.
