Kobina Tahir Hammond, the co-chair of the ad hoc committee looking into allegations against Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta, said he does not appreciate using titles like “Honorable” when referring to colleagues.
He clarified that during committee meetings, there won’t be many references to those protocols.
On Tuesday, November 15, when the eight-person committee that the Speaker appointed started meeting, he announced this.
As a result, he used the Minority Leader’s first name, Haruna Iddrisu, who was one of the motion’s proponents.
The Tamale South colleague was, nevertheless, referred to as Minority Leader on occasion by the Adansi-Asokwa Member of Parliament (MP).
The committee’s public sessions are anticipated to complete on Friday, November 18, and the remaining days will be devoted to writing a report for the Speaker.
