Former Minister for Works and Housing and Ranking Member of Parliament's Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has underscored the urgent need for the government to submit comprehensive policy documents to Parliament.
He argues that without these documents, Parliament and the wider public are left unable to fully scrutinise, cost, or support the implementation of key programmes.
Speaking on JoyNews' AM Show on Thursday, May 29, Mr Oppong Nkrumah stated that policy and programme documents are fundamental to democratic governance.
He explained that such documentation provides the technical details required for proper supervision by the legislature. "These documents give you the details that allow you to cost properly, fund appropriately through the budget, and enable Parliament to exercise oversight," he said.
