The Minority in Parliament says it has assembled a crack team of seven to debate the Vice President and flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to the Minority, since the NPP flagbearer has been craving a debate, they believe debating the mid-year budget review statement on the floor of Parliament will afford him the needed opportunity to debate the economy.

They say this debate is in line with their parliamentary rules, which allow the Vice President to join Parliamentarians in their debates in Parliament.

The crack team is made up of seven parliamentarians who they believe have what it takes to floor the Vice President. The team is composed of:

• Hon. Isaac Adongo – Ranking Member, Finance Committee

• Hon. Thomas Ampem Nyarko – Chairman, Budget Committee

• Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor – Ranking Member, Committee on Energy and Member of the Finance Committee

• Hon. Eric Opoku – Ranking Member, Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs, and Member of the Committee on Economy and Development

• Hon. Laadi Ayii Ayamba – Member, Finance Committee and ECOWAS Parliament

• Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe – Ranking Member, Committee on Employment, Social Welfare and Pensions

• Hon. George Kweku Ricketts-Hagan – Chairman, Committee on Economy and Development
