The Daily Graphic urges the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament under the Chairmanship of Dr James Klutse Avedzi to endeavour to enforce the laws this time round. According to the paper, just after three days of hearing lots of disturbing revelations have started emerging. The Graphic therefore calls on Parliament, the Auditor General's Department as well as the Attorney-General's Department and Ministry of Justice to join forces to involve Ghana’s law and bring Public officials found culpable to book.

The Ghanaian Times is shocked by the conduct of the three MPs and a former legislature for allegedly engaging in visa fraud. According to the paper, Parliament no doubt is one of the major pillars of Ghana's democracy, and as such members are expected to live above reproach. It is for this reason that the slightest hint of misconduct by member or members attracts huge public interest. To prevent such situation, the Times suggest that Parliament takes immediate steps to investigate the latest scandal and come out with the appropriate sanctions, if any of the MPs is found culpable.

The Daily Heritage lauds the Ghana Water Company Limited, GWCL, for introducing an electronic billing system which will calculate water consumption instantly and automatically send customers their corresponding bill via text message or e-mail. The paper makes reference to a release signed by the Head of Public Relations of GWCL, Stanley Martey, that the new billing system will gradually replace paper bills. The Daily Heritage is hopeful that management of the company would ensure the electronic-billing system fixes challenges having a financial toll on the company.
