The Speaker of Parliament in Ghana, Alban Bagbin, has advised the Minister of Trade and Industry, K.T. Hammond, to withdraw the Legislative Instrument (L.I) on cement price regulation.

This advice follows constitutional arguments raised by former leader of the minority party in parliament, Haruna Iddrisu.

The L.I. was laid before the House on July 2 and is expected to mature into law after 21 sitting days.

However, Tamale South MP Haruna Iddrisu has questioned the legal mandate of the Ghana Standards Authority to regulate prices of cement in the country.

Following this, the Speaker of Parliament advised that the Legislative Instrument is withdrawn until later.

Listen to him.
