Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu says NPP MPs will have to take a decision on Ken Ofori-Atta following some of their colleagues demanding his removal. More than 100 NPP MPs last year stirred controversy when they demanded the firing of the president's
cousin. After some back and forth, the president promised to act on their demand after the IMF deal is finalized. So what has become of that? Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu says the entire caucus must take a stand on that.
Still, in Parliament, the Minority is not backing down on their demand to have the EC amend its proposed CI which will make the Ghana card the sole identity document to register as a voter.
They insist they will vote against the CI if the EC brings it to Parliament in its current form.
Meanwhile, despite calls on government expenditure to cut expenditure, even from Parliament itself, it appears the House itself is rather piling on more expenditure and has appointed
some three new directors. The Majority Leader has been justifying the appointments. #JoyNews

Even in the IMF programme, the emphasis is not on hurting the vulnerable. The Free SHS is a good thing because an educated population is good but there are some aspects that need to be revised. - Prof. Peter Quartey, Director, ISSER #UPFront
Conversations about funding must be hard to ensure that it is done well. We are not totally against it. The issue is that if too put focus on that at the expense of others, they suffer. - Prof. Peter Quartey, Director, ISSER #UPFront

Two people are contesting in the New Patriotic Party’s primary to select a parliamentary candidate for the Assin North by-election.
Party delegates are voting today in that constituency to decide whether Frederick Amoah Kyei or Charles Opoku represents the NPP in the 27th June by-election to determine a substantive parliamentary candidate for the area.
Today’s primaries being conducted by the NPP is occasioned by the declaration of the Assin North seat vacant following the supreme court’s judgment on Gyakyei Quayeson’s candidature.

Unpacking the Gyakye Quayson verdict:
The reasoning behind that judgment is very disappointing. When you read the judgment you will realize that the courts ignored the issues before them. - Mahama Ayariga, MP, Bawku Central #PMExpress
The MP for Kumawu was introduced to Parliament today. The first time that took place was him taking his oath of office and his oath of allegiance. It was today that he swore that he owed allegiance to Ghana and no other country. - Mahama Ayariga, MP, Bawku Central #PMExpress
The issue of when you pick nomination forms to when the elections are conducted are matters of the Electoral Commission. - Mahama Ayariga, MP, Bawku Central #PMExpress
