Accra, July 12, GNA - Debates in parliament on Monday over the recent electricity and water tariffs increases truncated midway as the matter was found to be in court.
Mr Cletus Avoka, Majority Leader who brought the court issue to the notice of the House, said one Mr Kofi Owusu and Mr Kwame Boateng filed a writ against the Public Utility and Regulatory Commission (PURC) at the Fast Track High Court challenging the increase.
He said Standing Order 93, sections 1 and 3, prevented parliament from debating issues pending in court.
