JackB14,
The way I see it is that after this week they only have Tuesday 10 March, that day and that day only, it's not enough because of they put questions in for Tuesday 10 March, there's no time left to schedule in a Motion. They have to give at last one days notice, so they can't do that on Tuesday because the Royalty LI defaults into Law on that day. If they don't discuss it this week, it's effectively too late to complete all the steps on the final day. By not scheduling it in during the first 20 days of 21 the minority are clearly indicating they are not going to try and stop it.
Google says:
According to the Standing Orders of the Parliament of Ghana, as updated (effective January 2, 2024), the notice period for a motion depends on the type of motion:
General Motions: A motion generally requires one day's notice. The Standing Orders define "one day's notice" as a notice given on any sitting day for a motion to be made on the next succeeding sitting day.
Bills: Bills (except for urgent ones) must be published in the Gazette at least 14 days before they are introduced to Parliament.
Urgent Motions: Motions, including motions of no confidence or urgent matters, may require specific notice periods as determined by the Speaker or Standing Orders, such as the constitutional requirement of 7 days for summoning a meeting.
Key Takeaways:
One day's notice is the standard for most motions (given on one sitting day, moved the next).
14 days' notice is required for the introduction of bills.
The Speaker has the power to manage the business of the House, and urgent matters can sometimes waive these notice periods.
