When put in place, it would work separately but collaborate with the Government Assurances Committee of Parliament.

Mr. Kyeremeh, at a press briefing in Accra, said the Committee had become necessary to track assurances from the House and to implement them to the benefit of the society.

In Ghana, a major challenge faced by parliamentary committees and the House was the lack of consistency to follow through on their work and most importantly their recommendations.

Mr Kyeremeh said the Committee would provide a rigorous mechanism through which the institution could regularly revisit the outcomes of its previous decisions together with the work undertaken by its committees to assess whether commitments made had been kept.

It was going to help Parliament to establish precedents that could be relied upon in taking decisions of similar nature.

He added that the current practice, which relied on institutional memory had a limitation, given the frequent turnover of both members and officials. 

Mr Kyeremeh said the continued failure to follow through on committee recommendations and the work of Parliament had not only been impacting negatively on the work of the House but affecting public confidence.

The committee would standardized how the House and its committees followed up on questions raised on the floor and the progress on recommendations.

Additionally, it would determine to what extent Ministers and public institutions had been respected timelines set by the House.
