General News of Tuesday, 9 April 2019Source: ghananewsagency.orgQuality research findings, critical to Parliament operations - Deputy Majority LeaderSarah Adwoa SarfoMs Sarah Adwoa Sarfo, the Deputy Majority Leader of Parliament, has called for a high-quality research finding for Parliament to use as evidence in decision making and come out with good policies. She expressed concern about the existing bureaucracies within the executive, which occasionally slows down access to critical information, thereby impeding decision making processes of parliament on its oversight functions. “Parliament is empowered to control the expenditure of public of the country and also exercises oversight function over the executive, which is imperative in article 93(2) of the 1992 constitution”. “The training programme will promote evidence used by Parliament through building the capacity of parliamentarians to use monitoring and evaluation as part of its oversight functions”. Mr Frederick Opare Ansah, a representative of ECOWAS Parliament Delegation, said the training would empower participants with the needed skills to improve service delivery in public administration.
