No one will be allowed in the Parliament chamber after 10:00am – Speaker Alban Bagbin.

Speaker of Parliament Bagbin suggests 10:00 am limitations to tackle tardiness in Parliament_ . In a bid to address persistent issues of tardiness among Members of Parliament (MPs), the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has put forth a bold proposal to lock the doors of Parliament by 10:00 am. This unconventional move aims to instill discipline, ensure punctuality, and maximize legislative productivity within the hallowed halls of the country’s legislative body. Under the proposed measure, Members of Parliament would be required to be present in the chamber by 10:00 am, failing which the doors would be closed, restricting access for the remainder of the session. This stern approach seeks to impress upon MPs the importance of punctuality and adherence to the established schedule. Alban made this information known to the house on Friday, December 8. Both caucuses have been encouraged to discuss and propose alternative solutions, failure to reach a consensus the proposed measures will be implemented starting the next session.
