Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has recalled Parliament for an emergency session today, September 3 at the Makeshift Chamber at the Accra International Conference center.
The sudden recall comes after Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin expressed concerns over the Speaker’s decision to adjourn Parliament indefinitely on July 30, 2024.
The emergency session will address critical issues, including the approval of a Financing Agreement between the Government of Ghana and the International Development Association.
Additionally, Parliament will discuss tax exemption requests for beneficiaries of the One District, One Factory Programme, review matters related to the Ghana Financial Stability Fund and consider several pending bills.
Due to ongoing renovations in the main chamber of Parliament, the session will be held at the Dome of the International Conference Centre. The repairs, necessary for the 9th Parliament, are not expected to be completed in time for today’s sitting.
