Since the Parliament Chamber might be unavailable due to renovations, the Majority in Parliament is looking at other places to hold the special session on September 3, 2024.
Speaker Alban Bagbin has been asked to consider using a temporary dome in the car park so the session can go ahead as planned.
The search for a new venue started after Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin called MPs back from their break because many were unhappy with the Speaker’s decision to pause sessions indefinitely on July 30, 2024.
Since the Chamber might not be available due to renovations, Speaker Bagbin said a new location will be announced soon.
Second Deputy Majority Whip Alex Tetteh Djournobuah suggested using the dome in the car park, which was successfully used during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I am not seeing any renovation works going on in the Chamber and even if it is so, we have the dome to use.
In the COVID-19 time, we used the dome at the car park to transact business in Parliament and we can use that one to actually do whatever we need to do,” Djournobuah said.
