In his closing remarks, Alban Bagbin, Speaker of the House, urged the MPs to avoid making decisions that might undermine the proceedings of the house at the following session.
“We have really endear ourselves, especially the leaders, my deputies to try and build more consensus. However, we have made some rather unexpected U-turns at times. And I find that to be sad at times. I’m hoping this is not the experience we have at our subsequent meeting. You all demonstrated on Friday that you were ready to put in a lot of effort. Some of the ministers are as well,”
Mr. Bagbin said.
