The Majority Caucus in Parliament has requested an urgent reconvening of the House.
A letter from Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin invoked Article 112(3) and Order 53 of the Standing Orders of Parliament, which allow 15 percent of the members to request Parliament’s recall.
The Caucus seeks to address critical government business, including adopting the Thirty-Fourth Report of the Appointments Committee and discussing a motion on additional financing.
The petitioners aim for Parliament to reconvene to consider a motion for an unspecified matter.
“Additional Financing Agreement between GoG and the IDA for an amount of US$150 million to finance the ongoing Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project” and also a “Request for Tax Exemption for selected beneficiaries under the 1D1F Programme.”
“Mr Speaker, it is important to state that this request is being brought in good faith to enable Government to discharge its constitutional and democratic obligations to the people of Ghana,” the petitioners added.
Parliament adjourned on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin is expected to summon Parliament within seven days.
