Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Member of Parliament for Efutu, is proposing for the number of lawmakers in Ghana’s parliament to be reduced from 275 to 200.
The Efutu MP proposed at the 2023 GIMPA Law Conference on Wednesday, 15 March 2023.
Addressing the congregation, he said “I must say that one critical thing to look at is to put an upper limit on the number of MPs that we must elect each year.
“It is unpalatable that a small country like Ghana with its many financial problems has 275 MPs. In contrast with all its financial muscle, Australia has 151 and 76 senators.
He further stressed that “We need a change in the law to stop the unnecessary expansion in the number of seats in our Parliament. We must reduce the number of seats in our parliament from 275 to 200.”
