Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has recalled Parliament to meet on Monday, December 16, at 1000 hours.
The Speaker made this known in a notice of commencement of the Seventh Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana, pursuant to Order 58 of the Standing Orders of Parliament.
The venue of the Meeting is yet to be determined by the Speaker.
It would be recalled that Mr Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, the Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business, in a memo called on the Speaker to exercise his discretion, pursuant to Orders 57(3) and 58(4) of the Standing Orders of the House, to summon the House to sit for two days, Thursday 28th and Friday 29th November, to consider 22 items, all of which the Majority Leader referred to as either outstanding public business or urgent Government Business.
However, the Speaker in his response in a memo dated November 26, addressed to Mr Afenyo-Markin, noted the House would resume sitting after the December 7 general election to complete all essential matters before a seamless transition to the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana.
