General News of Sunday, 10 March 2024Source: www.ghanaweb.comIn one of the rare moments in the life of Ghana’s parliament, a Member of Parliament, other than the three principal Speakers, presided over sitting. This was because the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, and his two deputies: Joseph Osei Owusu and Andrew Asiamah Amoako, were not also present for the sitting on the said day. On March 5, Kobina Tahir Hammond, MP for Adansi Asokwa, got the opportunity to lead the business of the House as Speaker. KT Hammond’s first order to members of the House was asking the House to address him as Member Presiding, instead of Mr. Speaker. And as is the practice in parliament, after every sitting, the marshal escorts the Speaker of Parliament out of the Chamber, before other MPs exit.
