The Executive Director of the Centre for Public Opinion and Awareness (CenPOA), Michael Donyinah Mensah, has declared that Parliament has come to a halt due to selfish and personal political interests on both sides of the House.

Donyinah Mensah believes that the national interest, or the interests of the constituents who voted for them, are no longer relevant.

He remarked that it has become clear that our lawmakers are losing sight of why we elected them, as they engage in actions that benefit their selfish interests.

Speaking with Kwabena Agyapong, host of Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, he stated that the recent controversy in the House would not have occurred if our parliamentarians had the nation's best interests in mind.
