Parliament Back To Address Key Government Business

Story Highlights
  • Parliament reconvenes today
  • This follows a recess that began in March
  • Ghanaians will be watching to see what business is addressed

Parliament reconvenes today, June 11th, for the second meeting of its fourth session.

This follows a recess that began in March after a controversial bill was submitted for presidential assent.

The recess came about after the Speaker of Parliament adjourned the House on March 20th.

This decision followed a response to a letter from the Presidency requesting that a bill, known as the anti-gay bill, not be sent for approval.

In May, the Majority Caucus in Parliament petitioned the Speaker for an earlier return to address important government business.

This included approval of a report by the Appointments Committee and a motion on additional funding.

With Parliament resuming session today, Ghanaians will be watching to see what business is addressed and how lawmakers proceed.
