A recent poll by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed that 79% of Ghanaians support the Speaker of Parliament’s decision to suspend four Members of Parliament.
The suspension follows a chaotic altercation at the Appointments Committee vetting of minister nominees, where the MPs were involved in a near physical fight, hurling furniture, and damaging parliamentary equipment.
The survey, conducted between January 30 and February 1, 2025, sampled 952 respondents through a combination of online and field interviews. With a margin of error of ±3.2% at a 95% confidence level, the poll provides strong insight into public sentiment on the issue.
Also the report reveals widespread concern about Ghana’s parliamentary vetting process.
Up to 77% of Ghanaians believing the Appointments Committee is using its platform for political point-scoring rather than assessing nominees’ competence and suitability.
This perception has sparked significant debate about the integrity of parliamentary oversight and its implications for effective governance.
The mixed reviews for the committee’s performance, with 63% of respondents expressing satisfaction with its work, though only 28% indicate they are “very satisfied” or “extremely satisfied.”
