Abstract
Out of the forty (40) or so years of independence, democratic rule has been put on ice for over three decades. Parliamentarians have never been provided a purpose built accommodation to serve as a duty post.
The residential deficit of Ghana sums into several hundreds of thousands. This deficit has also affected members of the legislature whose constituencies are outside the capital.
In government’s attempt to solve this problem, some MPs have showed bad faith as captured in a headline of the Daily Graphic in 1997. This read ‘89 MPs TO QUIT FLATS”.
The report considers steps taken to forestall future occurrences of these problems and a design proposal for an accommodation facility to house MPs as a DUTY POST
