Parliament re-convenes for the First Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Fifth Parliament on January 24, 2012.
Per a release signed by the Speaker of Parliament, Mrs Joyce Bamford-Addo, the House will start sitting at exactly 10:00.a.m. on the scheduled date.
“In pursuance of Article 112 (1) of the 1992 Constitution and Order 37 of the Standing Orders of the Parliament of Ghana, I, Rt Hon Justice Joyce Adeline Bamford-Addo, Speaker of Parliament, hereby give notice that the First Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Fifth Parliament of the Fourth Republic will commence on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, at 10 O’clock in. the forenoon at Parliament House, Accra,” the statement said.
The fourth session,’ which ends in December this year, will be the last session of this current Parliament.
The three meetings constituting the session will be the last time some MPs will be undertaking parliamentary work since some will definitely be losing their seats during the December election.
Attendance to the House by MPs may be affected due to the fact that some of them will be visiting their constituencies quite often to campaign as the December election approaches so to that they can retain their seats.
