Jean Mensa again used the opportunity to fight off claims by the minority that she disrespected the house by not honoring the house’s early invitation on November 5, 2020. “…I have on no occasion turned down an invitation from the Parliament of Ghana. As an individual who has been at the forefront of championing Ghana’s democratic development for over twenty years, I respect and value the Institutions of State, a major one being the Parliament of Ghana.”

“Indeed, I was informed of your invitation to the Commission on the night of Wednesday, 4th November 2020 at a time I was out of the jurisdiction. Our Deputy Chair for Cooperate Services informed the Majority Leader about this and made arrangements for our presentation to be delivered to the Parliament today,” Jean Mensa stressed.
