Rt. Honorable Alban SK Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, has urged members to prioritize the national interest as the country approaches the 2024 elections.
In his opening remarks today, he emphasized the importance of expediting legislation on critical bills to ensure the effective functioning of government.
Today, October 15, 2024, Parliament convenes for the fifth meeting of its fourth session at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
This temporary relocation is due to ongoing renovations in the main chamber, a decision announced by Speaker Bagbin on September 30, 2024.
He noted that the move was essential to maintain uninterrupted legislative activities.
As MPs return from a brief recess, this session is poised to tackle significant national issues. Among the key matters on the agenda are crucial bills and agreements that align with Ghana’s development goals.
Recently, during an emergency session at the AICC, Parliament approved a $250 million loan from the World Bank to support the Energy Sector Recovery Programme, reversing an earlier rejection of the proposal prior to the recess.
