Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga has shot down the demand for the construction a hospital dedicated to Members of Parliament (MPs) only.

According to him, such a project is unjustifiable at the time as the nation’s economic footing does not have the room to accommodate such frivolousness.

“I definitely don’t believe that a hospital is the priority of this Parliament, or should be the priority of this Parliament. Mr. Speaker, we are very close to the Ridge Hospital, which I personally believe is adequate to provide the services that staff here will need. And I don’t believe that at this stage in the finances of this country, we should have the political class building a hospital, especially for itself, and not wanting to mingle with ordinary Ghanaians and the facilities that they use.”

“So I totally reject a proposal to construct a hospital for Parliament. We have a clinic which is in keeping with what most establishments have. And I believe that if anything at all, we should just improve upon the facilities and services of our clinic that provide basic services and when you need serious medical care, you can use the facilities at the Ridge Hospital. Korle Bu is not too far away from here.”

Minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has made a proposal for the establishment of a dedicated hospital for Members of Parliament (MPs) and the construction of a new parliamentary chamber.

The issue arose during the swearing-in of the Parliamentary Service Board on Monday, March 17, where Afenyo-Markin suggested that lawmakers and Parliament as a whole needed a specialised healthcare facility to cater to their medical needs.

“The speaker, there are two things that I look forward to seeing happen in the ninth government. One, a hospital for parliament. If it does happen in accordance with your vision, it will be a great aspect. We are in the political class. Our health issues are to be known within certain confines. Because of confidentiality at all people travel abroad at great causes for medical support,” he explained.

He further revived the debate on the need for a new parliamentary chamber, arguing that both initiatives were necessary to improve the working conditions of MPs.

Afenyo-Markin has however had both calls opposed by Mahama Ayariga.
