Parliament has established a nine-member committee, chaired by Collins Dauda, Member of Parliament for Asutifi South to explore pension scheme models suitable for former legislators.

This follows a proposal by Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga to create a pension scheme fund using proceeds from carbon credits to support former lawmakers.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, January 29, the Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor urged the committee to provide its report within 45 days.

“Collins Dauda of course will be a member. Samson Ahi will also be a member. Then we are including two first timers from our side and gender balance so Atta Issah, the MP for Sagnarigu, will also be a member. Then our sister Millicent Yeboah Amankwah will also be a member. Then Alhassan Suhuyini will also be a member.

“Then the Minority side will be constituted by Stephen Amoah, as well as Dr. Mahama Tia Kabiru. We advise them with our terms of reference and they will be given six weeks to do their work and we propose that Collins Dauda be the chairperson of the committee.”
