Parliament is set to reconvene today, Tuesday, October 15, 2024, for the fifth meeting of its fourth session at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
This temporary relocation comes as the main chamber of Parliament undergoes renovation work, necessitating the move to ensure legislative business continues uninterrupted.
In a formal statement signed by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, and issued on September 30, 2024, Members of Parliament were officially notified about the House’s reconvening for the fifth meeting.
Before this upcoming meeting, Parliament held a two-day emergency sitting at the Dome, during which it approved a $250 million loan agreement with the World Bank.
This loan is intended to support Ghana’s Energy Sector Recovery Programme. The agreement, which had initially been disapproved before Parliament’s recess, was a key reason for the recall of the House on September 3, 2024.
The loan facility aims to address challenges in Ghana’s energy sector, including financial sustainability and operational efficiency, which are crucial for the country’s overall economic stability.
