For Goodness sake, authors of GhanaWeb articles should learn and be accurate in their usage of English language words. For example, words such as "live"and "leave" are not interchangeable, so are words like "parking" and "packing". The MPs who will not be returning are "PACKING their belongings" and NOT "PARKING their belongings".

Add to your observation the sum of 27, 5, 15 and 2 which is 49 but the reporter got wrong and quoted 44.

It drives me crazy, too. Another widespread clanger, committed even by educated people, is the confusion of 'would' and 'will'. That's also conspicuous in the article, incidentally. The culprits use the conditional mood, when all that's required is a plain future tense.
There's a whole new lexicon of error evolving, exacerbated by the contemptuous disregard of the value of education exhibited by our political masters.
Errors such as the one you spotted, Menua, are often homonyms. With the nation's burgeoning illiteracy, and our discourse increasingly dependent on voice (as distinct from the written word), the contagion is, sadly, only too obvious.

What are we going to do? There is too much illiteracy in the country; the canker has permeated to all corners of society. Look and listen to the caliber of people in the legislature and the executive; it is really disheartening. Where did we go wrong with our education, AND HOW ARE WE GOING FIX IT? THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. THE SYSTEM HAS TO BE FIXED.
