A five-member delegation of the Council of State, led by the Chairman, Nana Otuo Siribuor, today called on the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin to ascertain at first hand, happenings in the legislature in recent times, resulting in the adjournment of the House indefinitely.
After a long deliberation, members of the Council assured Speaker Bagbin of their preparedness to assist him and the leadership of the House to resolve whatever impasse there may be, to pave the way for a recall of the House.
The Speaker gave a brief of the situation in Parliament and the basis of his pronouncements on the floor of the House.
He assured the delegation of his commitment to the development of the country’s democracy and its people.
The Council applauded the efforts of Speaker Bagbin, in keeping the democratic credentials of the country high, through efficient handling of the legislature and his leadership as the President of Parliamentary Organizations like the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association International, (CPA), Conference of the Speakers and Presidents of African Legislatures (CoSHAL) and an Executive member of the International Legislative Advisory Council of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in the United States of America.
Nana Otuo Siribuor encouraged him to continue with the good works in the interest of Ghana and all Ghanaians.
Speaker Bagbin informed the delegation that he is compelled to lead the Ghana parliamentary delegation to attend the 67th Conference of the CPA International at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
