The Majority in Parliament has called on Speaker Alban Bagbin to consider using a specially constructed dome at the car park for the parliamentary sitting scheduled for September 3, 2024.
This proposal follows the Speaker’s decision to recall Members of Parliament from recess for an emergency session, prompted by a petition from the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The Majority caucus initiated the recall after expressing dissatisfaction with the Speaker’s decision to adjourn sittings indefinitely on July 30, 2024. However, ongoing renovation works in the Parliament Chamber have raised concerns about the availability of the Chamber for proceedings. In response, the Speaker has indicated that an alternative venue will be announced soon.
During a media interaction, the Second Deputy Majority Whip, Alex Tetteh Djournobuah, suggested that the dome could serve as an alternative venue if the Chamber remains unavailable.
“I am not seeing any renovation works going on in the Chamber and even if it is so, we have the dome to use. In the COVID-19 time, we used the dome at the car park to transact business in Parliament and we can use that one to actually do whatever we need to do,” Djournobuah remarked.
