“We are not opposed to the policy, but we are concerned about the lack of transparency and accountability,” Mornah said.

The Minority Caucus has vowed to hold the government accountable and scrutinize every contract and document.

The Minority Caucus has also warned the Speaker of Parliament to prioritize substance over form and allow debates on important issues.
The group has also expressed concerns about the third term agenda, saying it is not possible and urging the President to speak out against it.
