Parliament resumes today, Tuesday, June 11, for the second meeting of the Fourth Session, after Speaker Alban Bagbin abruptly adjourned it on March 20, 2024.
This resumption follows an extensive response to a letter from the Presidency advising against transmitting the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, also known as the anti-gay bill, to the President for assent.
On May 3, 2024, the Majority Caucus petitioned the Speaker to urgently reconvene the House to address key government business items, including the adoption of the 34th Report of the Appointments Committee and a motion on additional financing.
A letter from the Speaker’s Office has recalled Members of Parliament from recess for today’s proceedings.
