The Clerk of Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, has urged members of the incoming 9th Parliament to focus on their parliamentary duties and serve the interests of their constituents rather than partisan agendas.
The 8th Parliament is set to be dissolved on Monday, January 6, paving the way for the swearing-in of the 9th Parliament on the eve of the Presidential inauguration.
In an interview with Citi News, Mr Djietror emphasized that once sworn into office, Members of Parliament must commit to addressing the needs and concerns of their constituents, ensuring that their work in Parliament reflects the aspirations of the people they represent.
He reminded the incoming MPs of the critical role Parliament plays in shaping national development and urged them to discharge their duties with integrity and dedication.
“Members of Parliament-elect must apprise themselves about their roles. Members of Parliament are not in Parliament to reinforce party positions, or to pursue party interests.
“Political parties come to power based on a manifesto. The manifesto is supposed to contain policies that would further the interest and the development of the nation.”
