The August house came under mass criticism after duly paying respects to victims of disastrous incidents in two separate African countries. Parliament Monday observed a minute silence for victims of the tragic shooting in New Zealand and those affected by Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi; incidents which happened on March 14 and 15 respectively. Addressing the House in his three-page statement, the North Tongu MP called the situation in these countries dire and urgent. The road carnage on the Kintampo-Techiman road in the North East region and the other on the Cape Coast road. These incidents however appeared to have been overlooked by parliament whilst similar ones pertaining to other countries were acknowledged.
