Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi Asokwa constituency is still justifying the need for a new chamber in Parliament.
According to him, the argument that Ghana does not need a new chamber is mute.
The criticisms of Parliament have forced the leadership in Parliament to rescind its decision on the proposed $200 million worth 450-seat chamber.
The Acting Director of Public Affairs of Parliament, Mrs Kate Addo, who disclosed this, said more feasibility studies are needed for the project to proceed in future.
But, speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Monday, Hon. K.T. Hammond said MPs are suffocating in the current chamber.
He cited how washrooms in Parliament are always taken over by visitors to the disadvantage of legislators.
The Adansi Asokwa MP bemoaned how the Legislature as an arm of government in a democratic dispensation lacks resources as compared to the Executive and Judiciary.
“We spend so much on the Executive and Judiciary. We don’t have Parliament I’m telling you,” he fumed.
Mr Hammond stressed that, if Ghana wants to practice democracy, it must be prepared to spend. “I agree the timing might be wrong but we don’t have a multi-purpose Parliament to accommodate all of us. Building a new chamber is necessary.”

Go to the govt hospitals and see what is happening there. This man is not serious
Thanks KT that parlimentarians always have their toilets choked. It's not at all surprising because you people could empty your bowels freely without sweat based on the food you eat there. Come to our village and you will realise that man visit the look twice in a week. What is wrong with you people working on your loos to discharge more. ***barred word***
What about the road from Ayenkwaso to Adanse Bodwesango fix it or you are not fit to have a chamber pot let alone a new paliament chamber.
Papa, go ahead and build it ooooo. Convince your colleagues to use your monthly salary and the per diems and ex-gratia for mother Ghana....this will be at least your contribution to the development of Ghana. Go to chorkor, James Town and other places and see how ques are formed to use the public latrines in the morning......You are there saying it is choked as if you have only one washroom serving the entire building. Is it by force to represent your people in parliament? If the place is choked and you cannot stand it, please step down and we will have someone who can manage....Min ko tia me ti, washrooms are choked!!! Are these the people we have elected to rep and enact laws for us?
I thought ball head was a sign of maturity. But yours is lack of vitamin, Take life serious ***barred word*** man.
If the washrooms in your house always choke, you fix it you don't build a new house.
