The Majority Caucus in Parliament has asked for an immediate reconvening of the House.
In a letter, Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin referenced Article 112(3) and Order 53 of the Standing Orders of Parliament, which allow 15% of House members to request the recall of parliament.
The Majority Caucus will address critical government business issues, such as the acceptance of the Appointments Committee’s Thirty-Fourth Report and a resolution for greater funding.
The petitioners want Parliament to consider a motion for an “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” as well as 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.
Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, is likely to call Parliament within seven days.
