Parliament will reconvene on Tuesday 25 January 2022 to commence the first meeting of the second session of the eighth Parliament.
The Parliamentary Service has, therefore, informed all members and staff of Parliament to take due notice of the commencement of the meeting which begins at 10am.
“The Parliamentary Service wishes to inform all honourable members and staff of parliamentary service that the second session of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic will commence on Tuesday 25 January 2022 at 10 am in the forenoon at Parliament House, Accra,” the statement issued by the public affairs directorate said.
One of the major issues expected to take centre stage in Parliament is the debate to consider the controversial E-Levy in the 2022 Budget Statement.
MPs shouted at each other and engaged in an open brawl in Parliament on Monday evening (20 December) as the First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei-Owusu, vacated his seat to enable him also to cast a vote to pass the controversial E-Levy under a certificate of urgency.
The marshals had a tough time restoring order in the House as they wrestled with a group of MPs to protect the Speaker’s seat, his documents and the mace. Sitting was then adjourned to 25 January 2022.
