  "summary": "The Minority Caucus in Ghana's Parliament has criticised the Majority for holding an emergency sitting, arguing that it was unproductive and a waste of time and resources. MP Samuel Awuku expressed concerns after the House adjourned, stating that the recall created expectations for important parliamentary business, but little substantive work took place. He questioned the rationale behind the emergency sitting and cited the unnecessary expenditure on MPs, journalists, and other stakeholders who had travelled for the proceedings. In response, Deputy Majority Whip Comfort Doyoe defended the sitting, stating that government business was ongoing and that Parliament was waiting for the vetting and approval of newly appointed ministers before proceeding with other matters. She dismissed the Minority's assessment as misplaced, insisting that parliamentary processes continued despite the lack of immediate substantive debate.",
