Speaker Alban Bagbin has officially opened the 2026 Parliamentary Committees Leadership Programme in Accra.
The programme, organised by the Parliamentary Training Institute (PTI), was held under the theme “Enhancing Committee Leadership for Effective Parliamentary Governance.”
In his address, the Speaker urged committee leaders to strengthen their leadership and oversight responsibilities to promote effective parliamentary governance. He noted that committees play a critical role in scrutinising legislation, monitoring government policies, examining public expenditure and ensuring accountability. He stressed the need for integrity, fairness and evidence-based decisions in the discharge of their duties.
The Speaker encouraged Members of Parliament to embrace continuous learning, strengthen cooperation across political divides and ensure that committee recommendations are monitored and implemented. He emphasised that the effectiveness of Parliament depends not only on debates in the Chamber but also on the quality of work undertaken by its committees.
