Parliament has concluded its session amidst controversy surrounding the approval of a 250 million dollar loan facility for the Ghana Energy Sector Recovery Programme.
The house, in its final meeting of the fourth session, successfully passed several bills including the Affirmative Action, Gender Equity Bill 2024, the Ghana Shippers Authority Bill 2024, and the National Service Authority Bill 2024.
During the session, Minister for Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, presented the 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review to the members.
However, tensions rose when the minority caucus won a voice vote against the loan facility approval, leading to the Speaker, Alban Bagbin, adjourning the house indefinitely on Tuesday.
The Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, expressed disagreement with the Speaker’s decision to adjourn the house unilaterally.
He announced plans for the group to mobilize support and recall the house under the law, setting the stage for further political manoeuvring in the coming days.
