NDC caucus in Parliament demands copies of handing over notes
January 20, 2021 Mr Haruna Iddrisu
Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of being in breach of the Presidential (Transition) Act 2012, Act 845.
This is because the government, through the Administrator General, Haruna Iddrisu said, has failed to furnish the House with handing over notes of the various ministries, departments and agencies for the previous mandate of the president.
Section 6 of the Acts requires government to prepare the handing over notes 30 days to the presidential election.
The notes, section 7 of the Acts, mandates the Administrator-General to present the original copies to the elected president and copy Parliament, the Chief Justice, the Council of State, and the Public Records and Archives Administrative Department.
