Coronavirus: Speaker suspends Parliamentary sittings for 3 weeks

Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin has suspended sitting in the House for the next three weeks effective Tuesday, February 10, 2021.

This is a result of the surge in cases of COVID-19 that has plagued some Members of Parliament and their staff.

Addressing members of the House on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, Rt. Hon Alban Bagbin said some 17 MPs have tested positive for COVID-19 while 151 staff have had their results return back as positive.

It is however unclear if the initial Vetting of the President’s nominees will still take place as slated for Wednesday, February 10, 2021.
