Accra June 25, GNA- The Minority in Parliament on Friday, described President John Evans Atta Mills three- day trip to South African trip as a waste of time, since President Jacob Zuma would not be around to meet him. Mr Hackman Owusu-Agyemang, Member of Parliament for New Juabeng North said it would have been better if the President had made it clear that he was going to South Africa to support the Black Stars in their match against the United States of America.

Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu Minority Leader, said the President left Ghana before informing parliament, which he said was a violation of the 1992 Constitution.

The Deputy Majority Leader, Mr Rashid Pelpuo counteracted the Minority assertion by arguing that the letter to parliament about the visit was received by the Speakers Office before the President travelled. 26 June 10
