8th Parliament should put aside partisan interest and address major national problems – Justice Emile Short

Justice Emile Short

The first head of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), has charged the 8th Parliament to focus on national interest instead of being driven by partisanship.

Justice Emile Short said he is hopeful the 8th Parliament will earnestly focus on critical issues facing the country to ensure that the right decisions are made to propel the country forward.

According to him, with equal numbers of MPs on both sides of the House accountability and transparency of government can be easily ensured by members of the Minority caucus.

Mr Emile Short said as compared to previous governments, the NDC MPs have to put government on its toes, for the country’s interest to reign supreme.

He made these comments during the Accra West Rotary Club webinar in an answer to a question regarding forecasts that the 8th parliament could possibly become Ghana’s most corrupt Parliament.

This forecast was based on assertions that the shorthandedness of the governing party will induce members of the Minority group into taking bribes to vote in favour of bills presented by the Majority side.

Speaking on the issue, Justice Short said, “That’s a prognosis I hope will not happen. I don’t have any basis to support such a conclusion. My hope is that that will not happen, and I do not want to think that that is how Members of Parliament operate, so I think I would refrain from giving any credence to such underhand dealings in Parliament.

He stated that MPs would have to put aside their differences and agree “to address the major problems that we have in this country; whether it is corruption, whether it is lawlessness on the road, environmental degradation or how our raw resources are utilised.

“There are so many issues with which the parliament have to address and I’m hoping that the two political parties will put their heads together and address all the critical issues facing the nation.”

  88. One thing I’d prefer to touch upon is that weightloss system fast is possible by the appropriate diet and exercise. Your size not only affects appearance, but also the entire quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, in addition to physical capabilities are influenced in extra weight. It is possible to do everything right whilst still having a gain. If this happens, a condition may be the reason. While a lot food but not enough exercise are usually at fault, common medical conditions and popular prescriptions can easily greatly amplify size. Many thanks for your post here.

  89. One more thing I would like to convey is that rather than trying to suit all your online degree programs on days that you finish off work (since the majority people are drained when they go back home), try to have most of your classes on the weekends and only a couple courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your weekend. This pays off because on the weekends, you will be much more rested plus concentrated on school work. Thanks a lot for the different ideas I have discovered from your blog.

The reason being at the same time they are becoming more and more inexpensive, their working power is growing to the point where they’re as effective as personal computers coming from just a few years ago.

In these days of austerity and relative anxiousness about taking on debt, a lot of people balk about the idea of making use of a credit card in order to make purchase of merchandise and also pay for any occasion, preferring, instead just to rely on the tried plus trusted way of making settlement – cash. However, if you possess cash available to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, this is the best time just to be able to use the credit cards for several factors.

  135. Thanks for making me to achieve new suggestions about desktops. I also have belief that one of the best ways to keep your laptop in primary condition has been a hard plastic-type case, or perhaps shell, which fits over the top of the computer. Most of these protective gear tend to be model specific since they are manufactured to fit perfectly on the natural covering. You can buy all of them directly from owner, or through third party sources if they are intended for your mobile computer, however only a few laptop can have a spend on the market. Just as before, thanks for your suggestions.

  141. Thanks for your post. I would also love to remark that the first thing you will need to conduct is to see if you really need credit improvement. To do that you will need to get your hands on a replica of your credit profile. That should not be difficult, since government mandates that you are allowed to have one cost-free copy of the credit report each year. You just have to request that from the right persons. You can either look into the website for the Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the leading credit agencies directly.

  144. Thanks for your ideas. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that banks and also financial institutions understand the spending behavior of consumers and understand that plenty of people max out there their credit cards around the getaways. They correctly take advantage of this specific fact and commence flooding a person’s inbox plus snail-mail box by using hundreds of Zero APR credit card offers right after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that in case you are like 98 of American community, you’ll jump at the opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and shift balances for 0 interest rate credit cards.

  153. Thanks for your blog post. I would also like to say that the health insurance dealer also utilizes the benefit of the particular coordinators of a group insurance cover. The health insurance broker is given a long list of benefits searched for by an individual or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker may is look for individuals and also coordinators which will best match up those wants. Then he gifts his tips and if the two of you agree, the broker formulates an agreement between the two parties.

They might taste good, but packaged foods have very little vitamins and minerals, making you consume more to have enough vigor to get over the day. In case you are constantly having these foods, transitioning to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will aid you to have more electricity while ingesting less. Thanks alot : ) for your blog post.

  160. One important thing is that if you are searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll want a cosigner. There are many cases where this is correct because you may find that you do not have a past history of credit so the mortgage lender will require you have someone cosign the money for you. Thanks for your post.

  167. I really believe that a foreclosed can have a important effect on the borrower’s life. Foreclosures can have a 8 to 10 years negative relation to a borrower’s credit report. Any borrower having applied for a home loan or any loans for example, knows that a worse credit rating is, the more difficult it is to acquire a decent bank loan. In addition, it could affect a new borrower’s capability to find a really good place to lease or hire, if that will become the alternative housing solution. Thanks for your blog post.
