Ranking Member of the Communications Committee in Parliament, Kweku Kwarteng told Accra-based Joy FM, "I've already discussed with leadership of the minority, I will be filing a question for the Minister of Communication to come and explain to parliament circumstances that led to this whole embarrassment."
The Minority in Parliament has said it will haul the Minister of Communications, Edward Omane Boamah before parliament over circumstances that led to the publication of error-ridden brochures for Ghana's independence day celebrations.
The official brochure distributed to the Kenyan President and his colleague from Guinea Bissau and their wives, members of the Diplomatic Corps, and many other senior dignitaries from Ghana, was froth with so many mistakes.

The errors ranged from the wrongful designation of Uhuru Kenyatta as Ghana’s President to errors in grammar and spelling.
Many Ghanaians have expressed anger at the incident, adding that it is an embarrassment and a dent on the country's image.
Workers at the ISD on Tuesday denied being the authors of the brochure, and wondered why their Director should take blame.
The ISD had previously been the traditional authors of the Independence brochure. However, the acting Director of the Information Services Department (ISD) revealed on Tuesday that the Communications Bureau of the Presidency approved the error-ridden Independence Day brochure for publication.
Ranking Member of the Communications Committee in Parliament, Kwarteng had alleged that presidential staffers took over the printing of the error-ridden brochure in order to benefit from kickbacks on the cost of the contract.
