Today, October 15, 2024, the fifth meeting of Parliament’s fourth session will begin at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre.
Parliament’s main chamber, which has historically served as the place for legislative sessions, is undergoing renovations, which is why the meeting was moved to this temporary location.
On September 30, 2024, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin issued a statement announcing the venue shift.
During this crucial period in the legislative calendar, Parliamentarians are expected to discuss urgent national concerns.
A short break will be followed by a meeting of MPs, which is expected to be crucial in advancing important legislative issues.
The fifth gathering is expected to discuss a number of important agreements and measures that would affect the country’s development strategy.
The World Bank loan arrangement worth $250 million was authorised by Parliament during a recent emergency two-day session at the Dome to support Ghana’s Energy Sector Recovery Program.
Before Parliament went into recess, the loan was first rejected and then approved. The administration believed the deal was crucial to reviving the nation’s energy industry and accelerating economic growth.
The primary purpose of the September 3 emergency session was to re-examine the rejected loan arrangement so that MPs could offer the required financial support for the nation’s energy recovery initiatives.
The choice to recall Parliament underlines how crucial it is to make sure that vital funding sources are available to support national initiatives.
