Parliament will reconvene on January 25 instead of January 18.

-

Despite First Deputy Joseph Osei-adjournment Owusu’s of the Eighth Parliament’s sitting to Tuesday, January 18, 2022, official communication from Parliament indicates a new date of Tuesday, January 25, 2022.

It will mark the opening of the Eighth Parliament’s Second Session.

“The Parliamentary Service wishes to inform all Honourable Members and Staff of the Parliamentary Service that the Second Session of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic will begin on Tuesday, 25th January, 2022 at ten o’clock in the forenoon at Parliament House, Accra,” the Public Affairs Directorate said in a statement released on Thursday, January 6.

“All Honourable Members and Members of Staff are respectfully requested to take note of this and attend to the House.”

In December, the First Session of the current Parliament came to a dramatic conclusion when a battle broke out between the Majority and Minority caucuses.

It happened during heated debates over the controversial Electronic Transfer Levy Bill, also known as e-level, which Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta proposed in the 2022 budget.

Members of the two caucuses disputed on whether the Bill should be considered under a certificate of urgency, and the subsequent vote to determine the subject exacerbated their disagreements, as the First Deputy Speaker voted in his capacity as a Member of Parliament for Bekwai.

He later adjourned sitting to Tuesday, January 18, 2022 but with the new communication, sitting will resume a week later.
