Mr Speaker, today is 7 December and it was 7 December that Ghana went to the elections and just within one year, five ministers of state, not even one is before this house to answer questions? And he\u2019s telling us that all of them have written letters that they can\u2019t come in?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Speaker, government business must be taken seriously and this is the house of parliament, this is the heart of democracy, this is why 7 December we went into the polls for you to come here and do this work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Speaker, if you look at the order paper, the business committee cannot go and sit and arrange business for the day. We come and not one of all the businesses slated for today is ready for execution\u2026 Mr Speaker, we can\u2019t believe this and it\u2019s just one year.
