Member of Parliament for Tamale South and Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, has urged the Adjaye Associates who had won the bid to build Ghana’s new Parliamentary chamber block, to consider a place where Muslims and Christians can practice their faith.
According to the Minority Leader as Adjaye Associates were briefing leadership of the House on how the structure of the new chamber would look like on Friday, he was supposed to pray that afternoon.
“I can do that within the premises of the chamber while the House is conducting business and come back, its one o’clock I have to go and pray, I can do that and come back to the chamber, a place to manifest our faith”.
He pledged his support to help build the new chamber block to make Parliament stronger than it is currently.
“We should have a diplomatic room, I picked this idea from Serbia, where there are holding rooms for former Speakers of the House and former Presidents when they visit Parliament”.
Mr. Haruna Iddrisu indicated that, the day the briefing took place was supposed to be the day for the sod cutting, but the Speaker wanted leadership and members of the public to be walked through how the new chamber would look like.
