Ghanamps.com can affirm that work is progressively going on to retrofit the chamber as announced by the Rt. Hon. Speaker Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin.
A visit to the floor of the House on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, saw active work taking place to get the chamber ready ahead of the September 3, 2024, recall.
At the beginning of the year, the Leadership of the House and the Parliamentary Service Board had decided that the chamber be retrofitted in preparation for the 9th Parliament, as made known by the Speaker of the House.
In announcing the refurbishment, the Speaker said, “the urgency of addressing structural defects and replacing the audio and video equipment cannot be overstated as many have witnessed the failure of the equipment and some parts of the structure of the chamber in recent times which has in some instances led to the abrupt suspension of sittings or adjournment”.
