The Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye , has recalled Parliament for an emergency sitting.
The House is expected to reconvene from Monday, April 29 to Friday, May 3, 2019, to complete some unfinished works that existed before the recent recess.
In a press release signed by the Acting Director of Public Affairs of Parliament, Miss Kate Addo, the recall is occasioned for need of the House to consider some very important Parliamentary business including the completion of work on and passing of the Companies Bill, 2018, among others.
The recall comes on the back of Order 43(3) of the Standing Orders of Parliament, which provides that the Speaker of Parliament may, if he thinks fit, call a Sitting of the House before the date or time to which it has been adjourned, or at any time after the House has been adjourned sine die.
The Companies Bill, 2018 is at the Consideration Stage while the Ghana Iron and Steel Development Corporation Bill, 2019 and the State Interests and Governance Authority Bill, 2019 are at the Third Reading Stage for passage into law.
