The Parliament of Ghana has announced the formation of several key committees, with Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, appointed as the Chair of the Assurance Committee.
The Assurance Committee, chaired by Ablakwa, is tasked with ensuring that government promises and commitments made to Parliament and the public are fulfilled. The committee plays a critical role in holding the executive accountable and ensuring transparency in governance.
