After several months of postponements, Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta is expected in parliament to answer some questions.
The questions will cover government's indebtedness and expenditure, funding of Free Senior High School among others.
Although the government has implemented some measures to reduce public expenditure, the Minority is of the view that more needs to be done.
Eight of the 10 questions stand in the name of National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs including former Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu and two in the name of New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs.
From the Minority side, Mr Ofori-Atta is expected to answer questions on some government indebtedness to Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
According to JoyNews’ Parliamentary Correspondent, Kwaku Asante, Mr Iddrisu wants to know the extent of government's indebtedness.
Again, he wants to know whether government will be able to pay pension.
Also, there are questions about Makenzy – the company said to have been brought in by government to achieve a certain revenue target.
Issues of funding for the Free Senior High School would be raised.
Meanwhile, the Finance Minister is yet to arrive before the house.
While in wait, the House is currently in a closed sitting considering the GETFund allocation formula.
