Sitting in Parliament will take place in the tent within the precinct of parliament where President Nana Akufo-Addo’s swearing in ceremony took place.
This is a temporal measure put in place by the leadership of parliament to curtail any possible threat from covid-19.
In his announcement before the House adjourned last week Friday, Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, disclosed that sitting will be virtual and as such only one-third of members are expected to be present in the Chamber while others transact from their offices.
