Because of kickbacks, over 20 million down the drain. They should burry their heads in the sand and apologize to the tax payers of Ghana. While other countries assests and infrastructure last for centuries, ours crumble within days.
Only in Ghana do foreigner get away with such stupidity. They should have demanded full refund and NOT replacement; garbage out, garbage in: what difference does it make?
Only in Ghana does Fulani herdsmen roam freely with AK 47; raping our women and killing our defenseless men without provocation and destroying our farms and property, yet they are embolden and protected by The Powers That Be.
Only in Ghana that the Chinese will come and engage in open illegal mining, " galamsey", destroying/polluting all our water bodies and vegetation, yet you can't touch them. We have a government and some NANANOM who don't give a damn about their own citizens, so far as they receive an underhand. WHAT A SHAME! God is watching.

If just a desk that one person will sit on, and not even bother to read the bills put infront of them, and just because they have the majority so they need to tow the political line but not the commonsense line, then we are in trouble.

us to buy such product at that price. Let us find out from the owners of these privately owned conference halls with higher sitting capacities and find out how much they procured their chairs. If China had behaved like this we would not have gone to them for a loan Shame to us all

Parliament and its leadership must be ashame for their highly irresponsible and reckless act of putting other nation's interest ahead or first other than their own.
from my checks of the nigerian, british, russian, u s, gernan "parliaments" one would observed that they have installed immovable or fixed wooden chairs or bench type seats in their chambers and these covered with leather to create needed comfort.
these fixed wooden chairs are durable and so lasts longer than the movable swivel types...because the more u move an item the higher the likely hood of it breaking down...i just cant get what at all is wrong with us as Ghanian .a nation which claims is independent yet needed a large chunk of its development budget to be funded by donor support, has high unemployment rate yet its parliamentarians would rather choose to be sooo recklless not to encourage its govt to create jobs for its teeming unemployed youths but be soo silly to be wasting the scarce tax payers money creating jobs for outsiders...thats nkrumah's ghana for u,- the "blackman is capable of managing its own affairs people"...dishonorable men n women and their useless leadership...

Ghanaian furniture-makers might not give you a written guarantee - their guarantee would be durable, quality chairs.

Remember the stadium disaster that saw the brief incarceration of ET Mensah former sports minister in the JJ administration before 2000? The chairs for the renovation of the stadium were so bad they cracked under the sun.Spectators started to throw the broken plastic chairs into the field.The police immediately threw tear gas into the crowd.There was immediate stampede, resulting in the numerous deaths we witnessed. Fact of the matter is the chairs cost far less than was quoted by the minister.
And now these same people are at it again.24 million? It could have cost less than half the price.The Chinese company should be questioned.They will tell exactly how much the contract sum was...# bus branding!

Not being aware that it is a poor decision is indeed what worries me. How many crucial decisions has this guy made? Any decision ever made by this man should be reviewed immediately without delay
This is foolishness and the NDC government must be held responsible for this. I will term this financial crime against the tax payers of Ghana.
PRAISE PARLIAMENT FOR BEING WISER AFTER THEIR EARLIER FOLLY? YOU MUST BE JOKING AS USUAL. BUT THEN PARLIAMENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SERIOUS BUSINESS
The chairs have not broken down, classfm. According to parliamentary sources the chairs have been replaced by the contractor under warranty, and at no cost to the state, because they were tall. I advise you guys to do a dilig ...

Oh go way . Nansins. This is no love Ghana matter . NDC parliamentarians are liars who keep getting caught out . Think everyone is a fool ? It's 2016 , not 1980's when people was afraid
Chinese company to lose to you dumb Ghana leaders? Tickle yourself and laugh. You'll realize soon that your chairs have been replaced with super fake materials.
Is this correct, that is 76,000 CEDI's for each chair, $19,500 per chair, the chair should be casting votes. I'll let someone sit on my back in parliament for that. Where is common sense when you need it, who elected these pe ...

What's the difference between a Chinese Prostitute and a Ghanaian MP drug dealer?
The Chinese Prostitute can wash her crack and sell it again.

Why is it that Government is not enabling the local furniture manufacturing industry to develop
what-the -hell-ever

If this is value money, why have the chairs been replaced after less than 2 years?
Ghanaian furniture-makers might not give you a written guarantee - their guarantee would be durable, quality chairs.
They say the only time parliamentarians dey agree
Is when they talk about raising their own salaries.... Tweaaaa gh parliament.
COMMONSENSE IS LACKING IN GHANA NOWADAYS
It is said that the USSR sold Ghana snowblowers. We should not allow these Chinese sell Ghana PAINTE NA MENTO. Think DURABILITY.Do not let anybody else get filthy rich on Ghanas naivity.

The African mentality of "everything foreign is better" is to blame.
