Parliamentary committee formed to consider pension scheme for MPs

In response to welfare concerns of former Members of Parliament (MPs), Second Deputy Speaker Andrew Asiamah Amoako has formed an eight-member ad hoc committee to explore a potential pension scheme for MPs.

This initiative follows suggestions from both Minority and Majority Chief Whips during a tribute to the late Talensi MP, John Akologu Tia.

Presiding over Parliament on Friday, Amoako set a two-week deadline for the committee to present its recommendations.

He expressed confidence in the committee’s ability to produce beneficial outcomes, emphasizing the importance and urgency of their task.
