Parliament is expected to begin extended sittings from TODAY as the House moves to complete pending legislative business ahead of its scheduled adjournment on Saturday, July 12, 2025.
The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga made the point when he presented the Business Statement for the Seventh week on the floor of the House. He explained that the additional sittings, including Mondays and Saturdays, will expedite the processing of Legislative Instruments (LIs) that must mature before the end of the session.
Mr. Ayariga, also Chairman of the Business Committee, said the ensuing weeks are expected to be loaded with ministerial appearances. Fifty-five Ministers of State, along with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, are expected to respond to questions from Members of Parliament.
He added that new Bills may be introduced and, if considered urgent, could be passed through all the required stages in one sitting, as permitted under Standing Order 160.
Mr. Ayarigya also noted that Papers could be laid, and committee reports presented for consideration, among other urgent matters.
