Mr. Kwarteng, a former Deputy Finance Minister, will now be moved to the newly established Committee on Economy, created under the new standing orders.
Afenyo-Markin made the announcement during the presentation of the business statement for the upcoming week, highlighting that Kwarteng will serve as the spokesperson for the majority side on economic matters. He questioned whether the minority side has a similar arrangement in place.
The Majority Leader emphasized the significance of the new Committee on Economy, stating that it will be the most important committee in the legislature under the new standing orders.
