The African Parliamentary Index has identified some weaknesses in Ghana’s legislature.

The document being launched in Nairobi, Kenya by the Canadian Parliamentary Centre is assessing the performance of seven Parliaments on the continent.

Ahead of the launch, Joy News has learnt Ghana scored a poor rating because of the way its legislature controls state resources.

The public is also said to have little access by way of contributing to the legislative processes.

Deputy Majority Chief Whip George Kuntu Blankson is participating in the meeting.

He told Joy News the issue of climate change is also being discussed and is looking forward to sharing his knowledge on the subject with his colleague MPs.

The report will also assess the work of parliamentarians in Senegal, Kenya, Benin, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
