The MPs include Honourables Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, A. B. A. Fuseini, Mahama Ayariga, Amidu Suleman, Alhaji Tanko, Cletus Avoka and Ras Mubarak.

“We, therefore, write to once again demand that you settle your indebtedness to the company [MMT] which now amounts to GH¢1,195,179.92 by 17th September 2018,” the letter added.
