Members of Parliament of the biggest opposition party, National Democratic Congress have said they need expert advice before they make any public comment on the recent scandal that has hit SSNIT.

Social Security and National Insurance Trust is currently being investigated by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) for procuring and installing a software and other hardware systems known as the Operational Business Suite (OBS) in a bid to digitize the Trust under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) government$ at a cost of 72 million.

The cost, which was originally $34 million, later ballooned to $66 million and then to $72 million due to maintenance and additional infrastructure.

Although the scandal has been at the center of discussions for over a week, the Minority which is known for organizing Press Conferences to address issues of National Concern have failed to talk about it.

But speaking at a press conference in Accra to address a separate matter, the Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu, said “We don’t just want to talk as a Minority, I need expert advice. We are studying; we don’t want to be a Minority that just rushes to say.”

“In fact last week, there was a meeting on the particular subject. There are many issues including free SHS.… Don’t forget that myself I was the Minister who oversaw pensions and I do have a position on the prudent management of pension resources. At the appropriate time, when I’m satisfied with the details, we would address the public on this and many issues,” Haruna Iddrisu said.
