The African Parliamentary Index has identified some weaknesses in Ghana\u2019s legislature.<\/p>\n

The document being launched in Nairobi, Kenya by the Canadian Parliamentary Centre is assessing the performance of seven Parliaments on the continent.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the launch, Joy News has learnt Ghana scored a poor rating because of the way its legislature controls state resources.<\/p>\n

The public is also said to have little access by way of contributing to the legislative processes.<\/p>\n

Deputy Majority Chief Whip George Kuntu Blankson is participating in the meeting.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The report will also assess the work of parliamentarians in Senegal, Kenya, Benin, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.<\/p>\n
