The Minority in Parliament has pledged to intensify its push for greater accountability from the government, saying it will continue to scrutinise policies and hold the administration to its promises to Ghanaians.

Speaking in Accra, the Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh Dompreh, said the opposition Minority remains committed to keeping the government “on its toes” despite its numerical disadvantage in Parliament.

He argued that the Minority has been effective in parliamentary debates and oversight functions, and vowed that it would sustain pressure on the government to deliver on commitments made during the election campaign.

“Our numbers may not be many, but we will continue to demand proper accountability for the betterment of Ghanaians,” he said.

Mr Annoh Dompreh made the remarks at a workshop in Accra involving Minority leadership, aimed at strategising for the 2028 general elections as well as strengthening their parliamentary engagement.

He commended Minority members for their performance in parliamentary debates and other legislative duties, describing their efforts as committed and effective.

He also criticised aspects of the government’s economic and energy policies, including concerns over power supply challenges, popularly referred to as “dumsor.”

According to him, some of the systems previously used to ensure stable electricity supply had been weakened, contributing to current power disruptions.

The Minority Chief Whip also raised concerns about reported financial losses at the Bank of Ghana, which he attributed to government interference, and questioned recent policy decisions affecting cocoa farmers, including changes in producer pricing.

He reiterated that the Minority would continue to scrutinise government actions while preparing for the next general elections.
