Parliament is set to reconvene today for an emergency session following a petition from Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

The session aims to address outstanding government business, as referenced in a letter from the Majority Leader to the Speaker, citing Article 112(3) and Order 53 of the Standing Orders of Parliament.

These provisions allow 15 percent of House members to request a recall.

The Majority Caucus plans to consider several important items, including a motion for an “additional Financing Agreement between the Government of Ghana (GoG) and the International Development Association (IDA) for US$150 million to finance the ongoing Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project” and a “request for Tax Exemption for selected beneficiaries under the 1D1F Programme.”
