An aspiring Volta regional chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former Member of Parliament for North Dayi, George Loh has showered praises on members of parliament from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and NDC, for responding to the call of intervening in the ongoing economic situation in the country.

He argues “because you know one of their functions is supervising the public purse and from the way things are going, they may need to invite the Governor of the bank of Ghana, head of the economic management team, they may need to invite the minister of finance and his team to get an explanation and find out what the minster is doing to turn this tide because it’s dangerous; I mean it’s throwing our economy out of gear and parliament has a responsibility to be seeing doing something to help the situation”.
Parliament is yet to begin debate on the censure but the former North Dayi lawmaker believes the intervention alone is enough commitment shown by the lawmakers.
