The Majority Caucus in Parliament, led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has formally petitioned Speaker Alban Bagbin to urgently recall the House to address critical government business.
Parliament was indefinitely adjourned on 7 November, due to the absence of a prepared agenda from the Business Committee.
In a letter dated 22 November, Afenyo-Markin suggested 28 and 29 November 2024, as potential dates for the emergency session.
The agenda includes high-priority issues such as Tax exemptions for beneficiaries under the One District, One Factory Programme and Approval of a $250 million Ghana Financial Stability Fund.
The others are Ratification of mining lease agreements for bauxite and lithium projects. Consideration of Supreme Court nominations.
The Effutu MP urged Speaker Bagbin to exercise constitutional powers to reconvene Parliament, emphasizing the importance of maintaining bipartisan cooperation and demonstrating national unity, particularly in the heat of Ghana’s 2024 electoral season.
