He went on to apologise for the chaos in the Chamber over the budget.

“On behalf of both sides, I apologise to Ghanaians because they voted us into those positions but at the right time, there will be a joint press conference to deal with the issues,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyire, disclosed in an interview on Accra-based Neat FM.

A notable incident was what transpired on Wednesday when Ashaiman MP, Mr Norgbey grabbed the chair of the First Deputy Speaker, Joe Osei Owusu.

This was after Joe Wise, who is also the Bekwai MP, dismissed a motion filed by the Minority against the budget which was approved on Tuesday.
