A five-member delegation from the Council of State on Wednesday called on the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, regarding the controversies surrounding the declaration of four seats as vacant.
Led by the Chairman, Nana Otuo Siribuor, the meeting aimed to ascertain first-hand information on the issues that resulted in the indefinite adjournment of the House.
After a long deliberation, the Council expressed its preparedness to assist Speaker Bagbin and the leadership of the House in resolving the impasse.
“The Council commended Bagbin’s leadership, particularly his roles in the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), Conference of Speakers and Presidents of African Legislatures (CoSHAL), and the International Legislative Advisory Council of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL),” portions of a statement issued by the Parliamentary Service read.
The Speaker will lead the Ghanaian parliamentary delegation to attend the 67th Conference of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) International in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
He has assured that upon his return, Parliament will reconvene in early November.
